In your Miles books you often talk about how vat-grown meat makes it ethical to eat meat. What dietary restrictions do you observe in your life?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have no dietary restrictions, although in recent years I've had to give up coffee :-( because it gives me indigestion.
For a while, I was trying to do dinners for a group which included a vegetarian, a person on the Atkins diet, and a person who did not like fish. I think I finally had them brown-bag it...
There are some classic old SF stories about vat meat versus dietary shibboleths, which the commenters can probably chime in with.

I asked you a while ago if Illyan was modeled after Illya Kuryakin. Your answer was that Illya was definitely an inspiration for the character. Since I would say this makes you a fan of Man from U.N.C.L.E., I was wondering if you saw the movie and, if so, what you thought of it? BTW, I love Illyan. Wonder why?

Hi Lois, I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much I've enjoyed your work thus far. I just got finished reading Memory and as I was nearing the middle of it, I was hit by just how great it was, not only as a novel, but also as the culmination of such a wonderful series so far. I've already started on Komarr. How much planning goes into your novels? Are you a seat of the pants writer?
