Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Jacqueline
Jacqueline asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I saw a question below about a book about Miles' children - I second the notion. I'd love to read it. But have you considered "going back in time" and writing another book about a younger Miles? Such as his time as an Imperial Auditor? I love your books but Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen seemed so final.

Lois McMaster Bujold Having just finished a 43k-word near-half-novel last week (and some trailing editing chores, plus writing a 2,000 word introduction for the upcoming first Baen Penric collection), I am due some slacking off right now. I have no idea what project I will tackle next -- or rather, I have a few ideas lying around breathing shallowly, but none have yet gone live -- but the chances of anything like this seem remote at present.

Ta, L.

Richard asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I love Miles, flaws and all, as much as it is possible to love a fictional character. However, I find Cordelia the much more compelling character. While Miles’ intelligence is unparalleled, Cordelia has a consistent wisdom that Miles seems to mostly hit at apogee. And, from my point of view, intelligence and critical thinking are major factors in acquiring wisdom. Thoughts?

Dex asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Well, it may be interesting to read stories after Barrayar get "lost" and from time of isolation as well Cetaganda conquest stories.?

I just finished The Orphans of Raspay. It was absolutely delightful! Thank you for this wonderful gift of another Penric adventure. Will it be coming out as an audiobook?
