Why do you think Aral wasn't more of a father figure to Ivan? How would it have worked if Ivan had become count of the Vorkosigan district? Name changed? District name change? There's already a Count Vorpatril... Martya named after anyone? Which "milady" paid for Roic's vacation time in WG - Cordelia or Ekaterin? What size were the black and white tiles?
Lois McMaster Bujold
An appalling workload, plus reluctance to step on Lady Alys's turf; pretty well, probably; don't know; don't know; don't know; don't know; a bit over a foot square.

A few questions: 1) did I mention how much I love the books? Because I love your books, the characterization, exploration of themes, your writing style. 2) how big is House Cordonah? I imagine an orbiting space station with ~40k people, including children. What's the corporate structure look like; do the denizens have voting shares? 3) are wormholes affected by gravity? What do they orbit?

Hi. As so many I am very grateful for your books. Cordelia was something of a role model for me. Her pragmatism about government, about God, about life, and about parenting helped shape the way I view many of those things. I believe I am a better mother, a better social worker and even a better government employee because of how you wrote her. I hope there are more Vorkosigan/Barrayar stories to come?

I love your work and my all time favorite series (not just of yours) is The Sharing Knife. I'm in a intercultural marriage so this series really hit home for me. One thing I admire about characters you write is that you show their intelligence. I always feel like I learn from your them. Could share any insight or tidbits on how you developed Dag and Fawn?
