Lois McMaster Bujold:
Is there any prospect of "The Flowers of Vashnoi" being published in print in the UK, please? (Import costs on the US print editions make those prohibitively expensive.)
Lois McMaster Bujold
I'm afraid not.
The nice SubPress edition of "Flowers", being sold out, is prohibitively expensive on the used market now even without shipping, though you can still get a (signed) copy from Uncle Hugo's at market price (ask) and they do ship worldwide.
It may be collected in some larger print volume someday, but that's not on the horizon yet.
Ta, L.
(There is no prospect of any of my work being paper-printed in the UK, my prior outings there having been traumatizingly disastrous for all concerned. Fortunately, ebooks interpret British publishing as damage and route around.)
(Also note the Baen editions of the two Penric & Desdemona print collections do have UK distribution rights.)

As I was enjoying home made Sweet Potato Pie with real whipped cream I was reminded of Tej's enjoyment of real dairy cream, in spite of her distrust of animal products not vat produced. If only I had sweetened it with Maple I would have had a real Vorkosigian treat. (Well, since I can't get bug butter.) Are you especially fond of real maple sugar products and real cream or are those literary devices?

Love Your latest series of book, world of 5 gods. Going back and reading he orld of the Five Gods and keeping up with World of the Five Gods : Penric & Desdemona. You write so well. I wish I could write as well as you. Does your editor and friends help you as you write a book or when you finish? I have written a couple of books but that is far as it goes since I keep slipping into present tense from past tense.

Thank you for all the laughs and tears from your many books. I see from this thread that nothing new will be added to the Vorkosigan universe, so I look forward to your new directions. Can you tell us about your systems as an author - what is your work life like and how do you create your new contexts? One of the aspects I love to you as a writer is your variety and depth - any secrets to share as a writer?
