Will Flowers of Vashnoi pull a Weatherman? I love it! It feels like it's just getting started!
Lois McMaster Bujold
Glad you enjoyed it!
For the record, "Weatherman" was an out-take from The Vor Game, the novel was not a continuation or expansion of the novella. At the time, the Analog sale was a chance to turn little more cash on the work, very much needed.
But no, I have no plans for a continuation.
Really, the story should be complete in itself; I'd be very interested in reader response from someone for whom it is their first Bujold, or at least their first Vorkosigan. I think it should stand alone just fine, but I admit I haven't had a chance to test that. "But they'll get a different read!" is not a useful complaint, as everyone always gets a different read.

Dear Ms. McMaster-Bujold:
I love the World of the Five Gods, and Paladin of Souls is one of the best books I've ever read. Although it has a very satisfying ending, I love the characters and would love to read more about what happened after. What challenges did Ista face, what was her legacy? What happened with Foix's bear? Did Liss stay, or go back to being a courier?
Is there any hope of more?
Thank you!

In Mirror Dance, two Duronas close to Miles are Lilly and Rowan, reminding me of Lily Rowan, sometime girlfriend of Archie Goodwin in Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe stories. Probably coincidence, I thought. Then, in Memory, a character muses that Miles was ... "not quite dead enough." The phrase was even set apart from the rest of the sentence. It is, of course, the title of a Wolfe novel. Easter egg, or coincidence again?
