Did you write Ethan and Labyrinth at the same time? Ethan clearly comes first but Elli mentions an 8 foot tall bioengineered super soldier in it. Was it your decision or GG's that Enrique should lose his Escobaran accent? I suppose he could have lost it in the 4 years between ACC and Flowers...

Ethan was the third novel I'd ever written, in 1985, before I sold any. (Shards was first and Warrior's Apprentice was second.) "Labyrinth" and "The Mountains of Mourning" were written around 1988 - 1989 to accompany "The Borders of Infinity", which had been written in mid-1986 for another Baen anthology, into a collection all my own. Borders of Infinity (first pubbed Oct. 1989).
I have no idea who or what GG may be. I don't believe Enrique's accent was mentioned one way or another in "Flowers".

Hi. Thank you for the many many hours of entertainment you've provided me over the last 20 years! I'm thouroughly enjoying the penric stories now. I noticed that unlike the first 3 penric stories, the 4th one (which I'm still reading) happens just after the 3rd one. Just curious, is there a plan to continue in that way, or did that just happen for this story that wasn't finished at the end of book 3?
