Hi, huge fan here. Do you have any idea why ebook versions of the Penric & Des novellas are not available on Libby/Overdrive, but the audiobooks are? I'm on several libraries and the only ebook is "Penric's Demon." Usually there is an option to recommend books that your library does not have, but it's like the rest of the ebooks aren't even in Overdrive's system, even though they exist on amazon.

We have not licensed them to Overdrive. "Penric's Demon" and a few other titles were an experiment in that direction, undertaken with a lot of hassle -- Overdrive doesn't make it easy -- which fizzled out. Rather disappointing.
Blackstone markets their audiobooks to libraries (and everywhere else.) I have no idea how they make them work -- I suspect they have a dedicated department to deal with the details -- but I'm glad they apparently succeed.

Sorry about the mysterious terminology! The Moravians were/are a radical Protestant sect who considered both main sexes equally divine, and so believed that in order to be fully deified, Jesus had to be feminine as well as masculine, so the side wound gave him a sacred vulva, sort of. (Also saw sex as a form of prayer, but the ways this worked got kind of rigid/surveillancy) They still exist, but are less radical now?

My Dad and I started reading your books in the late 1980s. His favorite character was Ivan Vorpatril. My Dad would have love Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. Have you considered writing a book where Ivan is the ambassador to Jackson Hole? Thank you for all your books over the years. I actually read Cryoburn to my Dad at his hospital bedside. I still cry when I read the dribbles at the end. Good memories.
