Lois McMaster Bujold:
Do you think you could impose on one of your engineering friends to draw a schematic of Ikos' seated pulley device? I just cannot picture it.

You can ask an engineer a readily as I can... just tell her what it does, and let her work out how it must look.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I read e-books on an iPad and mostly get them from iBooks. The indications of genre in 'Library' view are all over the place: "Penric's Demon" is labeled 'Historical', "Penric's Mission" and "Paladin of Souls" 'Epic', "The Curse of Chalion" 'Paranormal'. Of course many others are better labeled. I suppose that you are not the decider, but do you have any influence? And who does decide?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I note with regret that you say you are semi-retired. I assume that this means that your literary output will be at a slower pace than before. I am greedy for as many Bujold stories as possible. Would you ever consider working with younger co-authors to put out new books? I would expect that you would be reluctant to let Miles, Pen, Ivan, Elli, et al 'leave home', but other authors seem to be doing this.
