Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Steven Sarafian
Steven Sarafian asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I gather that there is a nod to Lady Peter Wimsey (Harriet Vane) in Ekaterine Vorvayne. But is there a reverse homage (as far as you know) when Harriet makes it a major project to herself create a garden in the footprint or outline of the burnt-out wing of Duke's Denver (in Jill Paton Walsh's "The Attenbury Emeralds")?

Lois McMaster Bujold
I haven't read The Attenbury Emeralds, so I have no idea. (You may be asking the wrong author.) The British have a general mania for gardens, though, so I don't see any necessary connection.

Ta, L.

Catherine Nemeth asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Would you be willing to make an authorial statement of the status of the WGW outside of Lakewalker/Farmer lands? If the malice disaster was limited to that continent or was worldwide, and if so, are there other survivors? Were there any other cultures at the same level of ground/mage technology, and did they know what happened? Did they quarantine the area & are they keeping a close eye in case a malice escapes?

This is a thank you to Mary for asking the question & to you for reminding me that it is time to start my periodic re-reading of Georgette’s regencies. I was a senior in college in1971 when my roommate gave me a Georgette. I collected all of her works in paperback. As they started falling apart I collected reissues. Now they are all on my Kindle. Maybe that is why I like your work so much - a common love of Georgetta?

Hi! I am a huge fan. I have been re-listening to the Vorkosigan books recently, and I was wondering… have you considered writing a book about one or more of Elli Quinn’s sons leaving Athos and coming to find her? I think it would be really fun to see how they interact during an adventure together. Thanks so much for your wonderful books!
