Will (or has) Flowers of Vashnoi be (been) issued in a print version?

Yes. Subterranean Press will be doing a collectable hardcover edition like the Penric tales. Projected publication late July. I've just had a look at the cover art by Jenn Ravenna, very nice, so things are in train. Nice interior design, too.
While it is on the shorter end of the novella range in word count, about 23k words, paper publishing economics are the same and so will the price be, $25. It's also a binding that will stand up to library use. (If what you want is a cheap reading copy, you need to turn to the e-edition.)

(The current official length of a novella for SFWA or Hugo purposes is defined as a story between 17,500 words and 40,000 or 45,000 words, depending. This may change in future; not my problem, though. The term's wider definition out in the world of all books is looser.)

When coming up with the concept of the "black gang" for Mark, did you do any psychology research first, was there some personal experience at play, or is it strictly what you've absorbed from the media? Either way it's pretty convincing. Reading his internal monologues and external explanations has helped me have compassion for a loved one recently diagnosed with trauma-based dissociative identity, so thank you!

I just wanted to let you know about something weird I've just noticed about your Vorkosigan books? On both Amazon and Audible, the series is called "Miles Vorsokigan". I got *really* confused for a minute, wondering how I could be misremembering Vorkosigan so poorly for 3+decades, until I saw that the books are all labeled correctly. It's just the "collection" or whatever it's called that's wrong. FYI. :)
