Margaret asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I just purchased & downloaded Penric's Fox for my Kindle. However, Amazon showed this book as "Penric's Fox: Penric and Desdemona Book 3 [Kindle Edition]". I have already read & very much enjoyed the first 3 Penric novellas so Amazon should have listed Penric's Fox as Book 4, right? It did have the "See inside" and I could clearly see it had the text of Penric's Fox. Thanks for the Penric/Desdemona series!!

Lois McMaster Bujold
Since "Penric's Fox" follows "Penric and the Shaman" in internal chronology, and the series is still pretty short, I decided to give it its proper tag and renumber the following novellas.

See: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog... for the full debate.

Also, you seem to be one behind in your Penrics -- there are now 5 novellas total. In new (as of Aug. 2017) chronological order, they are now:

Penric's Demon
Penric and the Shaman
Penric's Fox
Penric's Mission
Mira'a Last Dance.

Happy reading!

Ta, L.

Mreen asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I've loved your books since I discovered a ragged copy of "Brothers In Arms" in a used book store. Having read the latest, Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, and enjoyed it, I found I couldn't place a "literary reference" you meant as an injoke for your readers -"the dog who sleeps alone at night". What is the source?

Hi, Lois. My wife and I just read and enjoyed Penric's Demon. It feels like I just finished the first third of a novel. Do you have any further plans for Penric and Desdemona?

Hi Lois, in A Civil Campaign, the majordomo says, “My list,” said the majordomo, “has all of you on it. Vorrutyer, Lord Vorrutyer, Lord Vorpatril, Armsman Szabo.” Isn’t Ivan supposed to be Lord Ivan?
