I just finished Penric and the Bandit, and loved Penric's role as a divine in Roz's journey. I also found it interesting that compared to early days Penric seems less sorrowful about the damage he has to do to others. One question I had was the reminder of the number of Orban sorcerers, incl. Alixtra Dubro and Ota. Is there a supervisor of sorcerors in Dogrita? How does Pen relate to him/her?
Lois McMaster Bujold
The supervisor of sorcerers in Vilnoc is of course Penric himself, in an ad hoc fashion. What's going on in Dogrita is presently undefined and unexplored. We've met one high-ranking sorceress/physician from there, Learned Master Ravena, but whether there's anyone over her other than than the archdivine him/her self, or how many other sorcerers there may be in and around the winter capital is also not yet explored. We know there's enough for Pen to travel there to teach his experimental medical techniques to, but that could be as few as two, or as many as several.

As someone who can only dream of writing with the skill and proficiency that you have, can you share with me some of the things in your life that you believe has caused your writing to progress to its current state? Beyond repetition and revision what do you feel has most impacted your ability as an author?

Have you noticed? If you have read some of the "Rivers of London" series by Aaronovitch, you are aware that there really are multiple hidden rivers under London. They were once open rivers which have been built over or assigned to underground culverts. *Discover Magazine*, November/December 2021 issue, has an article by Natasha Khullar Relph, which explains how the city is bringing them back above ground again.
