Has anyone ever approached you about adapting any of your work to film/television?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Alas, no one (so far) actually capable of doing so. It takes, not a script writer or wannabe writer, but a producer with, or with control of, more money than I've ever seen in my life to make even the most modest adaptation. These folks, very limited in number, are understandably choosy about what they bet their bank upon.
My literary agent has a media rights agent who handles these things, findable through Spectrum or, I suppose, if one is in the know about the media biz. (Which is not me.) As they've not succeeded in licensing my work in a quarter century (and they have tried!), I'm no longer holding my breath. Though they have been successful in not tying my work up with folks who can't actually, in both senses, produce, so that's a plus.

Was Komarr recorded in multiple sessions for Audible? I listened to a lot of it w ear buds; I could discern different record levels within the same passage. It would sound like a bad "edited for content" television viewing of an R rated movie, where the swear words have a completely different sound within a sentence. :(

Although Miles' romances are always with women significantly taller than he is (in part because nearly everybody is) I've noticed the cover art always finds a way to avoid showing a short man with a tall woman. Either we see people head to head or a secondary character with his girl instead of Miles, etc. How do you feel about this phenomenon?

I just read in Jo Walton's review of Falling Free that it was originally going to be the first volume of a trilogy. If this is true, would you care to comment on why that didn't happen, and what you had planned for the rest of the trilogy? This is not a plea for "more of the same", just a curiousity about what might have been. I've been a fan since the 80s and have been pretty happy about reading whatever write
