J C asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I suppose the answer will be "if narrative causality demands it* but I have to ask: is Jin Sato almost destined to become a biologist on Sergyar under the instruction of commodore Jole [ret.]? Or the Betan Survey. (Or both). Iknow the Vorkosigan series has ended ... Three times? But this ending feels the realest and so Jin's higher education ambitions will sadly be unexplored ...

Another question for FanficPerson, I expect. Personally, I see Jin as a future zookeeper, though probably a biologist as well. (Think Gerald Durrell, who was a partial inspiration for the character -- see his classic memoir My Family & Other Animals. Which is a great read, btw.) On what planet is an open question.

Ta, L.

I know it's just over a 12 hour flight, but ever thought of coming to New Zealand to give a reading? You could go to Australia too. Although it is hot and has many snakes, actually if memory serves 7 or 8 of the top killers in the world. Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud, and the only thing you have to worry about is sheep.

Sarah asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I have been reading and really enjoying the Penric novellas. What, if any, of earth's cultures and religious faiths did you use for ideas to flesh out the 5 God beliefs and rituals? I'm thinking especially of using special animals at a funeral to signal that the person's spirit had been taken up by his or her God, and which God.
