Lois McMaster Bujold:
You are one of my favorite authors (I named my first leopard gecko after you...), but... I just read The Prisoner of Limnos, and...er... did you do any research on albinos before you wrote it? As far as I'm aware, no human albinos have red eyes. I know my friend doesn't (he's an albino), he just has super, super pale blue eyes. And, at least against a background of other white people, he looks fairly normal...

So I am apprised. But if you are willing to accept a world with living gods, chaos demons, shamanic beasts, magical healing, and Temple sorcerers, you can probably stretch it to include some albinos with red eyes.
Adelis's eye color, post Penric, is definitely the result of magical foolery.
(Also, a leopard gecko is a much less alarming namesake than, say, children.)

The planet Komarr is being terraformed. I dream of a future when we terraform Mars. Recently, it's occurred to me the Moon might be a better choice. Mars is so cold, and the Moon is just the right distance from the Sun. Since we found ice in a moon crater, we've got a start on the essential ingredient. Maybe we could snag a comet for additional water. Do you think humans might do this in the future?
