Love your work, it's helped put my own thoughts into coherent words. Science is advancing so that some technologies in your books could be possible, do you come across the scientific theories first and then write them in your books? Or do you look to see what you would like to happen and imagine how it could be possible?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Answer is, All Of The Above. Some were extrapolations of current tech, some were twists on (or arguments with) common SFnal furniture, taking it that one question farther.

Good morning! Just wanted to say hello, and mention something a friend and I were discussing. As we've grown older, fiction has begin to become less interesting, and the real world has become more and more fantastical. I'm unsure if this is an effect of age, or if reality has simply reached a bizarre enough state of technological advancement that we from the previous state are having trouble processing it. Thoughts?

Wherever you take him, I'm sure I'll enjoy following. The beginning of Penric's Demon just reminded me so strongly of how hard it is for people who know you well to see that you have changed. The two stories also makes me wonder, "Is Desdemona still around during Cazaril's time?" and what would she be like by then?" and what will Foix's demon be like 200 years beyond him, with such an interesting start?"
