I was a long-time fan of your SF when I came across your Sharing Knife books, tucked away in a corner so to speak. This is a truly wonderful story. I was disappointed that the plot arc came to a natural conclusion, and the story seemed to be over. But now I think there is something that would propel Dag and Fawn back out into the wide green world. Would you consider a sequel?

I'm glad you enjoyed the tetralogy! The Sharing Knife tends to get less love than my other series, and I have several hypotheses but no certainty as to why, except that those who do like it, like it a lot. Bless them. The target audience (if there were such a thing, and not just me throwing stories into the air to land where they will) seems to have a thinner overlap with my other audiences, I guess.
All I can say is what I say about similar inquiries for all of my books: I have nothing planned at this time.

As a fan of your Vorkosigan universe and also as a big geeky nerd who loves sci-fi RPGs, do you use Traveller or other games as inspiration for your universe? Incidentally, the GURPS sourcebook was my gateway (pun intended) into your wonderful series several years ago. Love that book as well and am forever grateful for coming across it.

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.
