Congratulations. You've just achieved the type of success in which Aral Vorkosigan is footnoted as being the father of Miles Vorkosigan. Or had you already reached that point?

I suspect the impact of engineers upon the world is rather greater than that of writers, but one must reflect who it is gets to write the accounts... :-) Engineers are quieter, their successes found in all the disasters that don't happen, and thus are never taken note of.
I do wish my dad could have lived to see some of my later successes -- he died a month after my first book was published, at which time it was by no means clear if this writing stuff was going to work out for me.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I was just at Amazon to link a book recommendation, and I was saddened to see the new and very unappealing series of book covers on all but *Cryoburn* and *Captain Vorpatril's Alliance*. I realize that you as author don't get much input about book cover art, but I'm curious if you were told that the Baen covers had been replaced. Do you know what caused the change?

Have you seen "Sneaky Pete" episodes on Amazon? At last, I think I've found the actor to play Miles ... Giovanni Ribisi. He's marvelously talented, very charismatic .... and short. Once he smiles, just follow him anywhere. Have you ever seen an actor you thought could pull it off?
