Hi Lois, I just wanted to comment that I recently happened upon your novels in the Sharing Knife series. I happened across a book store in the Keys and found an obscure (to me at the time) author and the set. I am so very glad that I picked up the works, as I only just finished the first novel in the series. I look forward to getting to know all the worlds you have built. ‘?’ (Required question mark ;)

I'm so glad you discovered my work! Also that you nabbed the whole set right off -- unlike my other more episodic series books, The Sharing Knife really is one story in 4 volumes, and needs to be read together like The Lord of the Rings.
Much more exploration awaits you. Be it noted, some of these things are not like the others, as I vary my style according to viewpoint and world.

I own most of your books in ebook and eaudio format but get most of the rest of my e-reading/listening from the library. Did you know publishers charge libraries crazy amounts for their ebooks? The example of a current popular book my library gave was $55 for a $15 ebook and $95 for a $40 audio. Then they have to rebuy in either 2 years or a certain number of checkouts. I realize publishers are in it for money but..

Hi. As so many I am very grateful for your books. Cordelia was something of a role model for me. Her pragmatism about government, about God, about life, and about parenting helped shape the way I view many of those things. I believe I am a better mother, a better social worker and even a better government employee because of how you wrote her. I hope there are more Vorkosigan/Barrayar stories to come?

In Mirror Dance, the gang encounters a growth-accelerated clone who's been surgically altered to have large, exaggerated breasts and hips. Mark (or maybe it was Miles? I think Mark) reasons that the clone must be a sex-change case. Can you explain why he came to that conclusion? I don't understand the connection.
