Kate Davenport asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Just finished rereading "Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen." Thank you for such an interesting and fitting coda/prolog. Your characters are so real I actually looked up when it was published and thought, "2015. Aurelia must be 7 or 8. I wonder if all the others are here yet? No wait---fictional characters." Either way, I hope they and you are doing well.

Lois McMaster Bujold
Thank you!

JG&RQ has had quite a bifurcated reception, by my standards, depending on what preconceptions given readers approached it with. It's always nice to hear from someone who gets my intended "study of grief and recovery as changed by science fiction bio-technology".

Nathan asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I know you've probably gotten this question before a million times, but would you ever consider writing another mainline book in the World of Five Gods series? I am devouring the Penric books at the moment, but I'd love another novel-length, meaty story :)
