I just finished Penric and the Bandit, and loved Penric's role as a divine in Roz's journey. I also found it interesting that compared to early days Penric seems less sorrowful about the damage he has to do to others. One question I had was the reminder of the number of Orban sorcerers, incl. Alixtra Dubro and Ota. Is there a supervisor of sorcerors in Dogrita? How does Pen relate to him/her?
Lois McMaster Bujold
The supervisor of sorcerers in Vilnoc is of course Penric himself, in an ad hoc fashion. What's going on in Dogrita is presently undefined and unexplored. We've met one high-ranking sorceress/physician from there, Learned Master Ravena, but whether there's anyone over her other than than the archdivine him/her self, or how many other sorcerers there may be in and around the winter capital is also not yet explored. We know there's enough for Pen to travel there to teach his experimental medical techniques to, but that could be as few as two, or as many as several.

Going through "The Curse of Chalion" again, (every time is a comfort & a pleasure) and the question occurred to me: On Cazaril's eventual death, which God will take him up? The Lady or the Bastard seem prime candidates, but I think the other Gods also have reason to lay claim. Is it wrong to picture a family squabble on the other side of reality? As you are Their voices in our world, I'd love to hear your thoughts

Good morning! Just wanted to say hello, and mention something a friend and I were discussing. As we've grown older, fiction has begin to become less interesting, and the real world has become more and more fantastical. I'm unsure if this is an effect of age, or if reality has simply reached a bizarre enough state of technological advancement that we from the previous state are having trouble processing it. Thoughts?

For legal reasons, do you have to stay completely clear of fan-fiction related to your books/novellas? I'm wondering if you ever get a glimpse of their canonical and non-canonical writing? There are some quite inspired fan authors that we readers have the freedom to enjoy. I wonder what restrictions you have.
