Recently reread both Capt V'sA and GJatRQ. Started speculating that the trip Miles went on just after meeting Tej may have been the trip in Cryoburn. However, that would put Aral's death somewhere very soon before/after the sinking of Impsec. So I tried using Helen's age, as stated in Cryoburn and GJ...and I don't think those work, either. In Cryoburn, Miles says the twins are 5; in GJ, they're 11. Help?

The twins' age may end up being something like the location of Watson's wound, I'm afraid. You can close much of any perceived gap by positing 5-almost-6 and just-turned-11.
Cryoburn takes place approximately 4 years afterCaptain Vorpatril's Alliance. The trip Miles take in CVA is Gregor's follow-up to the Sergyaran weapons theft.
There is also the open question of how long is a year, as each planet is different. Even more brain-bending is the question of what time means on opposite sides of a wormhole jump, but I prudently do not go there.

Lately, I find myself rereading old favorites like all your books versus making it through anything new by newer authors. In your experience/view, what makes a book rereadable? And are you working on anything now? Because for me, I have concluded that I get spoiled by quality storytelling combined with quality stories, and so far you are batting 999.

Hi, Lois. When did Cordelia’s mother and Aral first meet and did they get along? Did he finally visit Beta and did she visit them on Barrayar (as much as anyone had time for such trips)? Also, is there some sort of schedule for the re-release of the Vorkosigan books and do you know when the next one will be re-released and which one it will be? Thanks 😊

Did any of the Vorkosigans participate in Gregor's second ceremony on Komarr?
