Just started reading "Starship's Mage" and came across the character of Victor Rotha, an arms dealer who is a dwarf. How did that come about?

Since I have not read the book in question, I have no idea. Might be a homage? Fanfiction? You are asking the wrong author, really.

This isn't a question, but I haven't been able to get the system to send you a message any other way? My dad loved your books, but we especially enjoyed Curse of Chalion. Sadly he died in 2019 from mesothelioma. Which is when I discovered that the memorial ribbons for all lung cancers are white or cream. My mom and I are now planning a Bastard's Day ribbon for this year. Thank you! Alexa

Are you a Vorkosigan addict if? You hear "a day late and a dollar short" and think-that's a Betan expression. Something doesn't quite go the way you planned and you think-flexibility Udine. You hear actress Bella Thorne's bisexual and you think- naturally, she was named after a hermaphrodite. You hear Asian Small Clawed Otters have to eat often cuz they have a very high metabolism and you think-just like Taura.

Bujold-sensei, I want to add my thanks to the pile--thank you so much for sharing your stories. They have given me many hours of quiet enjoyment and great conversation. I've been thinking about the "son/daughter of a great man syndrome" you have mentioned. Miles is constantly chasing his father's achievements--will Sasha and his siblings face the same future? How does M&E's parenting differ from C&A's? Thank you!
