Ed asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Any chance of a collected Pen book? Something with all of the stories so far in a single bound edition, similar to the Flowers of Vashnoi?

Lois McMaster Bujold Yes, there will be two 3-novella collections upcoming next year from Baen. The first, due out in January in hardcover, will be titled "Penric's Progress". The second, slated for later in the year, will be titled "Penric's Travels". I'll be making a proper blog post about them later on, when this rather busy summer's other publishing activities have been worked through.

Trade and/or mass market paperback editions will presumably follow from Baen after the usual intervals.

Ta, L.

Hi Lois, Is there a map of the World of the Five Gods that also includes the locations for the Penric and Desdemona stories? I know you have mentioned that Chalion and Ibra are loosly based on the Iberian peninsula (inverted), does the similarity to Europe end there? I kind of imagine that Weald is somewhere around Germany, and Cedonia maybe Italy, am I way off?

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?
