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.

That's fascinating--thanks for answering! So does Barrayaran imperial succession follows similar logic to the inheritance of Countships--in terms of being able to take into consideration things like suitability for the job or other factors, over totally inflexible male primogeniture over all other considerations (along the lines of what we saw with Rene Vorbretten)?

I have a friend who was the Easter Seals child when she was three. They put a new valve in her heart every 5 years, and each time they told her and her family that she would be unlikely to survive the five year life-span of the valve. If you were in a very quiet room with her, you could hear the valve clicking. When you could not hear it, it was not closing right and she would have to be scheduled for another replace?
