I know you've probably gotten this question before a million times, but would you ever consider writing another mainline book in the World of Five Gods series? I am devouring the Penric books at the moment, but I'd love another novel-length, meaty story :)
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have, at the moment, no ideas in that direction. If something seized me, there is no impediment, but my semi-retired energy level is more suited to novellas at present.
Back when I was living from contract to contract (which is like paycheck to paycheck, but with a longer timeline) I didn't have time or energy to divert for the lower-paying short work. So getting to explore the length has been something of a treat for me.
(At least there is one novel-length Penric -- The Assassins of Thasalon, if you've made it that far in the series -- but that was an accident. It did start out to be a novella...)

Happy Birthday to my favorite author. Hope it was a wonderful day for you. You have brought us so much joy, laughter, and tears through your writing. Thank you, so much. Goodreads says I have to phrase this as a question, like Jeopardy, lol. The answer is; The author who created the Vorkosiverse, the Wide Green World, and the World of the Five Gods. Who is Lois McMaster Bujold?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Is it my imagination, or should there be five Chalion novels? I mean, The Curse of Chalion is the Daughter's book, Paladin of Souls is the Bastard's, The Hallowed Hunt is the Son's — the hardcovers are even bound in the gods' colours — so are there two more planned for the Father and the Mother? Somehow I picture a murder mystery and something set in a plague hospital.

Not a question, but I'd like to pass on an article published yesterday on extra-uterine gestation (https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15112; Summary at http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/04/artificial-womb-lambs-premature-babies-health-science/) published yesterday that immediately brought you to mind. Never thought I would see this in my lifetime! Interested?
