Is there a way to search through questions? I can't find it, yet it's probable my question today has already been asked and answered. What is the necklace you're wearing in your profile pic? I've only just noticed that it's the same you were wearing at the 2012 National Book Festival.

Yeah, the lack of a search function (and/or my failure to provide tags) is an ongoing problem. In part because some questions do come up repeatedly, and it would be handy to link old answers.
With regards to the necklace, it was the solution my Minneapolis art jeweler friend Elise Matthesen came up with when I brought her my box of assorted award nominee pins I'd accumulated, and wanted them all put together in a way I wouldn't lose. (Again. One Nebula nomination pin was lost when I left a jacket it was pinned to in a restaurant, never recovered, although SFWA kindly provided me with a replacement.) And also that I could conveniently display in such venues where it means something to folks, conventions and booksignings and PR photos and so on. Because pinning them all to a shirt had become impractical. (Mike Resnick, for a while, had a sort of cloth bandolier he could keep all his pins on, which lent him a bandit-like look, and might have given me the idea.) Elise calls it, justly, "wearable art".
I thought there was a little illustrated essay on it somewhere, but a cursory look does not turn up a link. In any case, I am indeed wearing it in the recent PR shot that goes with this blog, where I'm standing in front of the poster with all of Ron Miller's Vorkosigan ebook covers. (Of which people can buy copies, by the way. See https://society6.com/product/the-vork... )

Hi. Thank you for the many many hours of entertainment you've provided me over the last 20 years! I'm thouroughly enjoying the penric stories now. I noticed that unlike the first 3 penric stories, the 4th one (which I'm still reading) happens just after the 3rd one. Just curious, is there a plan to continue in that way, or did that just happen for this story that wasn't finished at the end of book 3?

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
