Any chance of a historical fiction project? Have you ever read Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond series, Stephenson's Baroque Cycle or Brim's Uplift series? As do yours, these authors’ heroes embrace their era’s complexities. Did you read Pilgrim's Progress? Lastly, thank you for having an entomologist in your books. They are fine and unique people who live among us (and with us) too often unappreciated.

In order: probably not, no, no, and no, and yes.
Glad you like Enrique! You may be pleased to know that once he gets over his grad student fecklessness, he ages very well. Martya is pleased.

Good afternoon! (I hope this question hasn't been asked; there's no way to search "Ask the Author" and you already have 1008 answered questions!) I've been wondering about the origin of the phrase "No artificial shortages!" that Uncle/Professor/Lord Auditor Vorthys likes. Online I found a brief modern use of the phrase on Twitter (someone talking about socialism), and not much else. Is it a quote, perhaps? Thank you!

In Shards of Honor, what was the role of the chief surgeon as the second agent in Emperor Ezar’s plan? Surely not just to corroborate Aral’s opportunistic explanation to Illyan of obtaining the Plasma Mirror information from Cordelia under interrogation drugs too late to help or cancel the invasion (Cordelia’s capture could not have been foreseen). Something to do with the Prince?
Thanks!
