Lois McMaster Bujold
Spring is flirting with us here, but it's often bait 'n switch -- April snowstorms are not uncommon.
I have no information on Galeni's mom, sorry. Possibilities range from her dying young, to still being around but estranged, by politics or just by distance or remarriage and/or emotional withdrawal from the old pain of her first marriage and all it brought with it. Or just by physical distance, of which there is a lot. People do grow away from each other -- here on Old Earth, emigration often meant never expecting to see one's birth family again in one's lifetime, and galactic travel times are not unlike old sea ones.

“For God's sake, don't drive the boy into hysterics, Vassily. They can keep it up for hours. And everybody stares at you as if you were the reincarnation of Pierre Le Sanguinaire. Little old ladies come up and threaten you—” Personal experience or observing humanity? :)

So with the deal between Kobo and Walmart (see, for example, http://www.businessinsider.com/walmart-will-start-selling-rakuten-kobo-ereaders-and-ebooks-2018-1), any plans on adding Kobo to your list of ebook sites? (I don't actually have a dog in this fight, since I don't currently own any sort of e-reader -- I just use whatever apps are provided by Amazon/B&N/Apple -- but the news item caught my eye.)
