Lois McMaster Bujold:
I really enjoy the Penric series, but I am disappointed that I cannot seem to find them as a physical copy anywhere. Are you planning to release them all together at some point as a full novel? Is there some way I can get them as a paperback or hardcover copy?
Lois McMaster Bujold
You seem to have missed all my blog posts about Penric's Progress a collection of the first 3 novellas, released as a hardcover by Baen Books in January, and Penric's Travels, a collection of the next 3, upcoming in May (or thereabouts -- book distribution being disrupted just now. But it'll catch up eventually.)
Prior to that, there were all the Subterranean Press hardcover chapbooks of the individual novellas. "Penric's Demon" is long sold out, but most of the others are still floating around -- Uncle Hugo's Science Fiction Bookstore here in Minneapolis still has most of them, signed, and does mail order. And, of course, they have plenty of copies of Penric's Progress. Dreamhaven Book & Comics also has some. Likewise Amazon and B&N.
You get them by ordering them -- waiting for them to spontaneously turn up at any particular bookstore is a crapshoot. Check the assorted websites.

I noticed several parallels between Hallana and Penric -- Bastard's order, physicians, sorcerers, and picked up an unintentional demon (at least by human standards). I wondered if this was coincidence? Or did Hallana have some interesting themes you wanted to dig into deeper? (Hallana is one of my favorite characters, btw.) ^^ -Kalli

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Dear Ms Bujold: The first piece by you that I read was "The Mountains of Mourning". And I read it in a wonderful Balkan restaurant in Vienna, right on the Ring. I would gladly read "The Physicians of Vilnoc" during a first-class meal (even if the meal is brought into my home these days). But hope I don't have to wait too much longer for iBooks?
