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.

Why do you think Aral wasn't more of a father figure to Ivan? How would it have worked if Ivan had become count of the Vorkosigan district? Name changed? District name change? There's already a Count Vorpatril... Martya named after anyone? Which "milady" paid for Roic's vacation time in WG - Cordelia or Ekaterin? What size were the black and white tiles?

I've read my way through almost the whole Vorkosigan series in the last couple of weeks, and enjoyed them thoroughly. Have you ever done any "dream casting" of actors/celebrities as your characters? (As someone who has a hard time drawing a mental picture from text, especially when it comes to faces—it's a weird neurological disconnect—I'd love to be able to "see" them as you visualized them.)
