Hi there Lois, I was wondering if you think you will ever go back to see what's happened on Athos? That's the biggest cliffhanger of the series, to me...
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have no plans to do so at this time.
I was a bit sorry that I'd given my universe such a very 60s-Analog element, although in my defense I did give it a non-magical physical substrate. ("There are no effects without causes" and all that.) I'd have to think of something different to do with a rather well-worked-over trope.
(There was a good book by Rebecca (R. M.) Meluch that did some pretty interesting things with a telepath... can't recall the title offhand. It might have been The Queen's Squadron or it might have been another.... (quick Amazon check -- yeah, that was it.) Downer ending, though. She does good work -- check out her books.)

This isn't a question, but I haven't been able to get the system to send you a message any other way? My dad loved your books, but we especially enjoyed Curse of Chalion. Sadly he died in 2019 from mesothelioma. Which is when I discovered that the memorial ribbons for all lung cancers are white or cream. My mom and I are now planning a Bastard's Day ribbon for this year. Thank you! Alexa

I'm in the middle of rereading The Warrior's Apprentice now. I was struck when Elena tells Miles that Baz has made up his own story about who Miles is--that he's essentially exiled for being a mutie and his younger brother has ursurped his place. Minus the exile, that's pretty close to Ser Galen's plot. Did you know that already when you wrote The Warrior's Apprentice?
