I'm probably a little late in reading the Chalion series. Your writing style in those books is exactly what I've been looking for. Character development for Cazaril and Ista is wonderful. I want to read all my other fave characters out in the world written with your touch, from your perspective. I like how you see the universe. Any possibility of a new Chalion in the future? P.S. The Bastard is my secret favorite.

It's unclear if you've found The Hallowed Hunt yet, or the novella "Penric's Demon", both set in the same world but in different time periods and with completely different casts of characters (except the gods.)
Yeah, I think most everyone likes a trickster figure, especially including storytellers.
My The Sharing Knife tetralogy has a deliberately different "voice", as suited to its world, but it is more fantasy.
I have no news on future work at this time. No promises, nothing in progress, nothing ruled out.

I really enjoy listening to the audiobooks, especially the novellas and I have kinda of fallen in love with Grover Gardner's voice. He is really good at expressing the humor and sarcasm that I love in your writing. Is there hope that he would narrate a new audiobook version of the Curse of Chalion or none whatsoever ? (kinda of hopping to suggest the idea if it's not already there ^^)

In Curse of Chalion you have scenes of crossing a mountain pass and Penric likewise crosses a pass. You make it all very vivid and immediate. I've never been up in such a place and was wondering what experience and research you'd based this on? (This question was prompted by watching a documentary on a team of scientists looking for Hanibal's route across the alps - and seeing mountain passes.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
My reading friends frequently have lively debates about the elements that create a literary world that feels as if it really exists. In my reading experience only ten per cent of the books I have read possessed those vivid qualities. As both a reader and writer of such books, what element(s) do you feel coalesce to create a living breathing world? So far our debates though long and loud have come to no conclusions.
