Lois McMaster Bujold:
I just wanted to thank you for so many of my "would I like to have dinner with this person?" fictional characters. It is hard to beat Peter Whimsey, but Cazaril and Cordelia are right up there. (Miles would be too, except that something awful would happen during the meal.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Good afternoon! (I hope this question hasn't been asked; there's no way to search "Ask the Author" and you already have 1008 answered questions!) I've been wondering about the origin of the phrase "No artificial shortages!" that Uncle/Professor/Lord Auditor Vorthys likes. Online I found a brief modern use of the phrase on Twitter (someone talking about socialism), and not much else. Is it a quote, perhaps? Thank you!

Influences on the imagery in Cazaril's, erm, epiphany? I suspect Huxley's 'The Doors of Perception'.

Dear Lois McMaster Bujold, First of all, in my household, my father regarded you as the best that SciFi had to offer and it was stories of Miles retold to me as an asthmatic child in the ER, for the umpteenth time impatiently breathing away through a nebuliser cursing myself and my asthma for millionth time, that place you upon so high a pedestal. Was Dubauer based upon a real life person?
