Think Beta could still be storing Cordelia's first extracted eggs? Seems like something they might do.

Lois McMaster Bujold
Yes.

(This is a reference to a line of Cordelia's memory-musings in Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen, for those wondering.)

Really, I shouldn't wonder if it's SOP for all Survey personnel to store gametes, before going off on their dangerous voyages. Because Beta, and their families, certainly wouldn't want to lose those high-grade gene lines.

I came across this on tumblr and thought you'd appreciate it. Have you ever played DnD or another tabletop role-playing game? http://downtroddendeity.tumblr.com/post/176989536912/im-halfway-into-the-first-miles-vorkosigan-book

A Goodreads user asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Not a Q, but I want to say thank you for creating Penric. He’s proof that characters who are kind and compassionate can also be complex and riveting to read. His grief over losing a mother (and mother figure?) and his emotional scarring from physician fatigue feels very real. The conversation between him and Nikys at the temple in Penric’s Mission is one of my fave scenes (and the one with Chio at the end of Lodi).

D asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi! I am a huge fan. I have been re-listening to the Vorkosigan books recently, and I was wondering… have you considered writing a book about one or more of Elli Quinn’s sons leaving Athos and coming to find her? I think it would be really fun to see how they interact during an adventure together. Thanks so much for your wonderful books!
