Did you know that one of next Saturday's Derby contenders is Lord Miles? Do you think the breeder's a fan? He has Triple Crown winners Seattle Slew & Secretariat behind him, as well as Man O'War twice, & won the Wood Memorial, so he's got a shot.

Heh! No, I did not. Not the first mammal named after one of my characters, if so. Forward momentum, Miles, I guess...

Since the debut of the ebook have you "punched up" the "kindle sample" beginnings of your books, because they are now effectively part of the marketing? I think books used to be like movies, which could start slowly because people had already paid (sunk cost fallacy). They are now like TV shows, that have to grab and hold flighty viewers.

Hi Lois!I was in a bit of a funk so I reread Cordelia's Honor and caught a few things that I hadn't noticed before. I will have a separate post for each. #3 What exactly IS a flimsy? I keep thinking I have it figured out from context, but in Barrayar, Kly is carrying stuff in a flimsy (the snacks he gives to Gregor, the gum leaf). I can't imagine how the flimsy I had been imagining could be used as a container.

Will Penric's Shaman be made available as an audio book, and perhaps read by Grover Gardener?
