Happy, happy, happy that I am holding my hardback copy of Penric's Progress in my hand! Now I can loan the dead tree version to my daughters, as I couldn't with the eBooks. I seriously thought about a signed copy from Uncle Hugo's, double the cost precludes. :-( I'm praying that the "Orphans of Raspay" is going to appear this way as well? Cheers from a hazy, smoky Melbourne, Peter L

"The Orphans of Raspay" is going to have a lovely Subterranean Press edition later this year, but it will be a while before it gets collected, as I'd have to write a couple of sibling-stories to go-with to make up market weight. Baen did such a nice job on the book design, I rather hope so, just to get another volume. Nothing in progress, Penric or otherwise, at the moment, though.

Is there any chance that we will see life from Aral Alexander/ Helen/ Lizzie/ Taurie's point of view? Or perhaps, since those Vorkosigans would be so privilleged all through life, it might be really fun to see life through the eyes of some little Vorpatrils, especially those who have connections and ambitions, but are forced to grow up on planets far away from the known world. (Looking forward to Gntmn Jole)

Will we see anything more in the Vorkosigan series? I'd love to find out how Cordelia and Aral's daughters come out and what life is like twenty or so years on from Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen. Also, having just re-read (tenth time) Cryoburn I thought I should tell you how very very much the ending touched me. I cry each time I read Gregor's remark. Aral is real to me as are the rest of the characters

Lois McMaster Bujold:
More about names in the World of the Five Gods: I live in Catalonia, and it seems to me that various names in Chalion have a kind of pseudo-Catalan feel to them, without actually being Catalan. But Foix is a Catalan place name, pronounced Fosh, and also a southern-French name, pronounced Fwa. You're not J. R. R. Tolkien, so you probably haven't created complete languages to fill up your world. Is there any rationale?
