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.

Heading to Dublin for WorldCon 2019 tomorrow with questions all planned for your kaffeeklatsch, only to discover you won't be there! So glad to see there's an alternative that you're active on, so I can ask my questions here instead. Since I'm character-limited, I'll split them into multiples. First question: do you have a page where you publish your con schedule, or does one have to dig through your blog?

Hello; Do authors usually get a percentage of the profit after costs for the sales of the book? If they do, how does that work with e-books? The cost is much lower to produce and no shipping costs so when that is factored out, so the profit starts coming sooner doesn't it?

Planning on a re-read, I realized I apparently don't have an Ebook version of GJatRQ. I tried to find it in apple books but they only have the audio version, and it isn't listed at all in their list of Vorkosigan works. I'd prefer to read over listen currently. Any ideas why I can't find an Ebook for this novel? Could it be some sort of temporary glitch? I hope so!
