In one of the Sharing Knife books (Passage?) you mention that 4 cities mint their own currency. I count Tripoint (gold tridents), Graymouth (copper crays) and Silver Shoals (silver coins). What's the 4th?

No idea. Look on the map and see if there's another large city mentioned -- that would be the best bet. On a river, or in the more populated south. (Somewhere in the farmer-heavy south, not touched on in the tale, seems likely. The map only includes places named in the story, for reader orientation, not all possible places.)
There are also still old coins floating around from lost cities of the past.

I'm interested in hearing about your early career if that's okay. :) What lessons have you learned about the business and the craft of writing that you wished you had known in the beginning? Do you write by hand, do you type, do you use dictation technology or a bit of all three? I just began reading the Vorkosigan Saga for the first time. I am now reading over 4 hours a day. Haha! Thank you for your work. :)

My book club will be reading "Cordelia's Honor" in a few months! I'm very excited. It's a potluck book club, so is there anything themed to the books that you think would be good for me to serve? The best I've come up with so far is getting different fruit butters, for the butter bugs. What foods embody the series, for you?
