Lois McMaster Bujold:
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.)
Ta, L.

Dear Ms Bujold: The first piece by you that I read was "The Mountains of Mourning". And I read it in a wonderful Balkan restaurant in Vienna, right on the Ring. I would gladly read "The Physicians of Vilnoc" during a first-class meal (even if the meal is brought into my home these days). But hope I don't have to wait too much longer for iBooks?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
What helps with figuring out how to tell a type of story that isn't told often? For example, when you were working on the Sharing Knife books and realized you had set up demographic and long-term problems that your characters would tackle in books 3 and 4, what helped you come to grips with how to do it? How did you bridge the gap between wanting to write a story with an unusual shape and actually doing it?
