I just listened to the Curse of Chalion three successive times. Must be my age and lack of health, but I found him and his story to be profound. In these times where honor and truth seem so passé. I loved how he turned away from seeking glory and found such reverence for kindness. I dare not hope, but if your wonderful genius meets another such character, it would be a great gift. What do you think?

I'm glad you are enjoying my work!
Well, no two characters can or even should be alike, so I can't promise you another Caz. If you haven't tried the Penric novellas yet, they might work for you as well, if differently, as Penric starts out as a much more callow youth, who is not even now as old as Caz was when his story began. (Start with the e-novella "Penric's Demon" or the Baen collection Penric's Progress.)

In Mirror Dance, the gang encounters a growth-accelerated clone who's been surgically altered to have large, exaggerated breasts and hips. Mark (or maybe it was Miles? I think Mark) reasons that the clone must be a sex-change case. Can you explain why he came to that conclusion? I don't understand the connection.

I just finished all of your Vorkosigan books and I loved them! For the majority of them I listened to the audio version during my commute to and from work. There were to items that seem to have changed pronunciation as the series progressed. Dendarii changed from den-der-ee, to d den-der-ee-eye. Galeni changed from guh-len-eye to guh-len-ee. Can you tell me which are the most appropriate? Thanks! Andy

What (and roughly where, in "our" world) are the 7 hinterlands in the Wide Green World? Oleana seems to be most of the midwest, Raintree further west (toward the Mississippi and south a ways); it's not clear where Seagate is though there's mention of snow-topped mountains, and it's not clear what hinterland Graymouth / New Moon etc. are in. I think of Luthlia as being Minnesota, perhaps up into the Dakotas / Manitoba.
