Dear Mrs Bujold, here's a (probably) odd one. In the Bulgarian version of "Mirror Dance", ch. 16, Lady Vorpatril tells Ivan to "[be] careful with the young Vorsossion", who is "a sister of Violet Vorsossion". That has stood out to me on every re-read of the series, since we later hear of the *Vorsoissons*. Is this an issue with the translation, or are the two ladies really members of the "Vorsossion" family?

They could well be related, but if so the two branches of the line diverged so long ago that spelling differences crept in. They way they do, with immigrant populations.

You say the e-writing process has gotten frighteningly fast. Good thing? Bad thing? Has it changed the way you write? Or any of the different stages of your writing? For myself, I can look back and see so many things that I now do totally differently because of the computer and the internet.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Having just read about your early career as editor of StarDate, I wondered if you watched William Shatner's trip to space this week? I think it would be very hard to deny the impact of Star Trek, and all the creative minds that worked on it, on our steps into space. In all the brilliant sci fi you have written, are there any concepts you wrote about that you would like to try in your 90th year?
