Marie asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Any favorite quotes from your books? Mine are "you should see what I do to kittens!" from Brothers in Arms, and "Are you out of my mind?" from Mira's Last Dance.

I'm rather fond of Cordelia's recent remark, "What is love but delight in another human being?" I think it cuts through a lot of clutter.

Ta, L.

Although Miles' romances are always with women significantly taller than he is (in part because nearly everybody is) I've noticed the cover art always finds a way to avoid showing a short man with a tall woman. Either we see people head to head or a secondary character with his girl instead of Miles, etc. How do you feel about this phenomenon?

Rob Yale asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

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?
