Any anticipated date for Demon Daughter in hardcopy? I don't see anything listed on Subterranean Press. Also, similar question on audio version. Thrilled that you are continuing to expand this wonderful series.

I only just signed the contracts for these a few days ago, so it will be a while. I'm guessing 4 - 6 months for the audio and maybe a year for SubPress. It was a surprise entry for both in their publishing queues -- mine as well. Blackstone needs time to record, though if they reuse Ron Miller's cover art that will save a step, and SubPress must contract cover art and also send me 1200 tip sheets/signature pages to sign, which they can't print up till they have the cover art. And so on.
I will make blog post announcements when things go live.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
My reading friends frequently have lively debates about the elements that create a literary world that feels as if it really exists. In my reading experience only ten per cent of the books I have read possessed those vivid qualities. As both a reader and writer of such books, what element(s) do you feel coalesce to create a living breathing world? So far our debates though long and loud have come to no conclusions.

Listening for the first time the audio version of the Penric novellas, I found a great similarity between Desdemona, and how Penric views her as unique being and repository of knowledge through centuries (and what a waste it would be to lose it) AND the Trill like Dax from Star Trek Universe. Is it a coincidence or not ?

I think Penric is now one of my top male characters to have dinner with, right behind Cazaril and Peter Whimsey. And I would love to hear more about any/all of his adventures as they occur to you. But Bosha, Tanar and Adelis are the unresolved storyline that itches at me and makes me curious because I can't see a happy ending for them. Can you?
