Have you ever written a play or script? (We were discussing your works over dinner last night, and one topic that came up was how "Mountains of Mourning" would make an excellent stage play.)
Lois McMaster Bujold
No, no plays or scripts from me. It's a different medium from novels and short stories, etc., so I'd have to retrain, which I am presently too lazy to do. More cogently, to achieve any kind of performance and reach an audience, it requires working together with people in groups.
A mainstream novel I read once had the memorable line, discussing the pleasures of life, "It takes two to make love, but eating you can do alone." I would add writing fiction to that list.

Happy Winterfair wishes to Lois and all who read her works. I am assuming that Winterfair takes place on and around the Winter Solstice, which is today, as I type this, on Old Earth. And Penric, Des and the rest in the world of the Five Gods should be celebrating Father's MidWinter? I can't remember, do the Sharing Knife characters celebrate a middle of winter holiday?

I was browsing the Baen ebook site and came across this: https://www.baen.com/penrics-travels-earc.html It shows a pub date of 5/5/2020, which of course is more than a month away. I have all these already, of course, but do you have any info on this? Good cover art, too, btw.

An sf reader for >50 of my 62 years, I had until recently only heard of Miles. I'm now 3 books in (Warrior's Apprentice), & hooked. Work of this quality is why I read sf. Thank you for this great pleasure. I have minutes ago learned of Michel Petrucciani, a French jazz pianist of astonishing musicianship & refinement. He suffered from brittle bones, & was short of stature. Were you aware of his work before Miles?
