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.)

This is a bit of a silly question, but I couldn't help wondering: The Vor Game mentions that Bel's cabin on the Ariel had, among other things, "a small cage housing an exotic pet from Earth Thorne called a hamster." Did you have any idea of how Bel acquired this hamster, or what happened to it, when writing that detail? Or was it just a throwaway line of description to round out the setting & character? :)

My favorite book of all time is Curse of Chalion. Do you think that you'll write another sequel to it, either a full-length book or novella? I think there are lots of stories still to be told about the characters in it or in Paladin of Souls. I reread them both at least once a year and always wish for more.
