Lois McMaster Bujold:
(I keep bumping into the character limit!) After finishing The Hallowed Hunt, which I thoroughly enjoyed, I couldn't help but wonder how Ingrey and Ijada got along. Wencel had, at one point, offered to teach Ingrey if he'd but come visit him at his home, where he kept his library. Novel events went quite differently, of course. Is that knowledge something Ingrey and Ijada will ever find?

Good question; I 'd have to write a story to learn the answer. It is among other things unknown how much Horseriver was lying about that library, using it to explain his knowledge actually acquired by living through his times. It's also unknown if he left whatever he possessed behind, or destroyed it, although the progression of the story suggests the former. I'd think the Temple would be first in line to seize anything interesting, posthumously. I. & I. might get to see it later...

Hello Ms Bujold! I have been a huge fan of your work for some time, thanks to Anne McCaffrey (she practically threw Komarr at me). I wanted to congratulate you on your recent news, and ask if you find it constricting to be constantly asked to provide yet another Vorkosigan novel, despite your success with other story arcs in other worlds?

Happy Winterfair wishes to Lois and all who read her works. I am assuming that Winterfair takes place on and around the Winter Solstice, which is today, as I type this, on Old Earth. And Penric, Des and the rest in the world of the Five Gods should be celebrating Father's MidWinter? I can't remember, do the Sharing Knife characters celebrate a middle of winter holiday?

Again - a Very Happy Birthday, Lois! :) (I am traditionally late, but I was thinking of you the WHOLE time). Wish you the world and the stars and am so glad you've been out! to dinner. Still haven't written you a poem, shot you a movie, draw you a comic book or played you a song - will you forgive me?
