Lois McMaster Bujold:
I was rereading the Penric books, and started wondering how the World of the 5 Gods would look in a modern or futuristic setting. Have you considering taking the series out of their medieval/Renaissance setting? Would Des be kicking around in the head of a space navy officer? (i'm rather enchanted by that idea, by the way)

It's indeed an interesting question, and one I have mulled from time to time, but I don't have anything pending or trending in that direction yet. There are still so many possibilities in the characters currently on my plate.
Science would presumably develop differently, and on a different timetable, with so many best-brains off in pursuit of theology and sorcery.

After reading Masquerade in Lodi, I am now rereading all the Penric books, as there were references in the new one that didn't quite ring a bell. And just this morning, a memory popped up. There is a real town called Lodi, in the central valley of California. Were you aware of it? Credence Clearwater even wrote a song about it, with the chorus: Oh Lord, I'm Stuck in Lodi Again. Oh, and THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
