Lois, there are many avenues for us to purchase your books. What is the best one for us to use in order to support you? I read somewhere that buying ebooks from the publisher's website generates the most revenue for the author. Is this true? What do you recommend?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Any new-book sale is a good one, including audio downloads and publishers' websites. Whatever is most convenient to the reader is fine. That said, my self-pubbed ebooks on Kindle, Nook, and iBooks give the most, and most immediate, %$ pass-through to me.

Des is keeping Penric young(ish) but I'm assuming that while she might be able to slow his aging and keep him healthy, she would not be able to extend him past the assumed human maximum of 125. In the end it still feels like it would be hard on him to outlive everyone important in his life except Des. How do you imagine she will handle his feelings of loss and possible depression? And how will she handle losing him?

Do you know of any good resources for getting non-English versions of your books in the US? Or maybe some of your other fans/followers will know? Personally I am interested in Japanese copies (in physical print or ebook) to work on my language skills with something I am familiar with and more difficult than the kids books I can get at the library. Thank you!

I've read my way through almost the whole Vorkosigan series in the last couple of weeks, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Have you ever done any "dream casting" of actors/celebrities as your characters? (As someone who has a hard time drawing a mental picture from text, especially when it comes to faces—it's a weird neurological disconnect—I'd love to be able to "see" them as you visualized them.)
