Plans for WorldCon this year? I just signed up as a voting member (and virtual attendee) today (2/3/24), just a bit late to nominate. (I also read about the 2023 controversy. Sigh.) (Been reading too much murderbot.)

When I semi-retired a few years back, the retirement part was mostly from business travel and public speaking, neither of which are comfortable for me anymore. (Although public speaking has managed to follow me home through Zoom, etc., oops. Still not comfortable, but at least no airports.) The writing part, happily, is on the semi side of that hyphen, slowed but not impeded.
So, no Glasgow for me this year, although I have fond memories of the last Worldcon there in the 90s -- Mirror Dance won a Hugo, for a memento still on my shelves.

Although I highly appreciate some of your Vorkosigan novels, on the whole I tend to prefer the World of the Five Gods—perhaps partly because it’s so European (apart from its theology, which I actually prefer to Christianity). Out of curiosity, I just checked, and in this world you never use the expression “freshen up”, which seems to appear without fail in the works of most American authors. Congratulations?

An sf reader for >50 of my 62 years, I had until recently only heard of Miles. I'm now 3 books in (Warrior's Apprentice), & hooked. Work of this quality is why I read sf. Thank you for this great pleasure. I have minutes ago learned of Michel Petrucciani, a French jazz pianist of astonishing musicianship & refinement. He suffered from brittle bones, & was short of stature. Were you aware of his work before Miles?
