Thank you in advance if you're willing to answer this question. Besides publishing professionals (like agents/editors etc), out of the "famous" authors, artists, or SpecFi Con participants living or dead that you've meet over your career, who were you most surprised to learn was a a fan of yours? Also, who were you most pleased to learn was a fan?

I'm always pleased to learn that another writer likes my work. And surprised -- I know how tight their time and attention are to devote to other writers' works. ...Naming no names right now because it's first thing in the morning and I haven't had my tea yet, but there have been several, over the years. Well, Catherine Asaro comes to mind because she got me to write a novella for her romance-SF crossover anthology. Which is how you all came to have "Winterfair Gifts".

Hi there, i hope you are doing well. Congrats on your amazing success. I wanted to check if you would kindly review a childrens book i've written dedicated to my late father? I would love your honest feedback and a endorsement. This is apart of my late father legacy and id really appreciate it. This is my first time ever writing a book so any support would mean alot to me. I look forward to hearing from you.

I feel as if somewhere I've seen a map of the World of the Five Gods, and not the one in The Orphans of Raspay (which didn't include every place mentioned in Orphans). Am I right? I looked in all my kindle versions of Chalion, etc. with no luck. I'm a map lover, and like to be oriented!

Lois McMaster Bujold:
In the world of the five gods, how different are the afterlife experiences of the various gods? That is to say, if a person is taken up by the Brother, do they experience a truly different afterlife from someone taken up by the Daughter? And, as a corollary, do each of the gods have a separate "heaven" or is there one afterlife that may be affected by the perceptions of the god whose gate you came through?
