In Komarr, there is a scene where Miles pursuades Nikki to leave the bathroom by telling him that he once employed a ten-year-old girl. Was this covered in one of the earlier books? I am wracking my brain and can't seem to remember it, familiar as it sounds.

Nope, that's a throw-away line, on the order of the politician, the lighthouse, and the trained cormorant. (A classic example from the Sherlock Holmes stories.) Not every Dendarii assignment/escapade was covered in the stories, as they ran over some ten years.

Think you have a fan at CBS? Scorpion had an exploding lake, a la Lake Lethal, Pure Genius had a lab working on an artificial womb, and Elementary had an episode about vat meat. I'm confused about the name Mia Maz - is Mia her first name or a title, like miss? Miles calls her milady Maz and she says "just Maz" Is it easier/harder to write from multiple POVs? I find I like the extra takes, tho Memory is a masterpiece

When you are busy writing do you notice a decline in your interest in reading? Or maybe in reading works similar to what you are writing? Perhaps this pertains more to fiction than non-fiction, but I've experienced seasons when a world is actively gestating inside my head and similar stories lose their appeal. Curious to know if others experience something similar. Thank you!
