So, I'm a huge fan of your Vorkosigan series, and I can't wait for Gentleman Jole. That siad, one of the bits that intrigues me so much about the series are all the little asides and pieces of Barrayaran history. I know you've said your not interested in writing war stories, but would you ever consider writing something placed before or at the first contact with the galactic community after the Time of Isolation?

Nothing is promised, nothing is ruled out, and nothing is in progress.
I'd like to do some more new things, but I have lately involved myself with the e-book relaunch with the new e-covers, which is going to keep me busy for a month or two more. After that, who knows?

The news today is that Philip Roth has died. In the NPR story about him, there's a reference to an interview in 2013: https://www.npr.org/2013/03/23/174949848/at-80-philip-roth-reflects-on-life-literature-and-the-beauty-of-naps . Where are you on the spectrum of retirement? Obviously, not fully retired yet, but I suspect you might be slowing down?

A PG-rated version of Sharing Knife would be readable by any kid who could handle (for example) Wings of Fire. I'm reading large excerpts to my kid already (and Knife Children unedited). She especially likes the malice-kill scenes. Would you consider producing such a thing? I'd buy it, and I suspect I'm far from the only parent who would.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
“The Mountains of Mourning” shows the Barrayan system in action. In the case of someone getting disappeared by ImpSec, the only recourse would seem to be to be family/friends going to their Count and asking him to intervene, which would probably mean him going to the emperor, as ImpSec seems to be operating without any restraint except from the Emperor & Auditors. That suggests ImpSec has a fairly recent origin?
