Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hi Lois. I discovered you with Borders of Infinity and have read your books over the last 30 years as they've made their way to this side of the Atlantic. I've just re-read your earlier Vorkosigan books, from The Warrior's Apprentice to Memory, over the last fortnight. That's the first time I've read them in chronological order and it was fantastic. Thank you. Again. ps what's the best way to report a possible typo?
Lois McMaster Bujold
You're welcome!
Typos in printed books are beyond correction, natch. If it's a recent e-edition, well, maybe, but it involves putting my e-handler through a hassle. But there is space for typo reportage in the spoiler-discussion posts I put up on my blog after every new e-work. You could stick it in there, I suppose, even if it's not for the story under discussion. Keeping it all in one place is good. (Actual discussion of the stories is even better. I notice folks tend to get pretty distracted by minutia. Not sure just why.)
Ta, L.

I just wanted to say "Thank You". The Vorkosigan books, Cordelia and Miles and even Ivan, have enriched my life in infinite ways. The Sharing Knife books were beautifully written stories that I LOVE. I feel I would be a less full person had I not discovered your work. Any new fantasy worlds bubbling in your brain?

Rereading Mirror Dance (again again). Who was more fun to write? Miles or Mark?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I note with regret that you say you are semi-retired. I assume that this means that your literary output will be at a slower pace than before. I am greedy for as many Bujold stories as possible. Would you ever consider working with younger co-authors to put out new books? I would expect that you would be reluctant to let Miles, Pen, Ivan, Elli, et al 'leave home', but other authors seem to be doing this.
