Thanks for the answer, and so quick! Unfortunately, I'm still confused -- is the Peninsula to the east or the west of the map in Orphans? As I look at the island chain, it looks as if it should be to the west, but as I read the book and look at the maps on the site, I feel as if it is to the east. Again, thanks. I just like to be oriented!
Lois McMaster Bujold
The Ibran peninsula is ~800 - ~1000 miles east of the Carpagamon islands and the coast of Cedonia.
Remember, north is toward the equator, south is toward the nearest pole. Also recall there are two large peninsulas in play, the Ibran to the east and the Cedonian to the west.

A lot of quotes from your books come to my mind fairly often (I didn't vote for him), but the one I find most profound is at the end of Brothers. Miles - "Straight-Up good guys and bad guys". Elli - "Great, which are we?". Was this just a fun line or did you see it as much deeper like I do? I watch a lot of violent fiction (bad CIA etc) and find it very discouraging for there to be so many real conflicts now

Any chance of some more Vorkosigan novels or anything on Barrayar?

Lois, I noticed in reading Chalion/Paladins that out of all modern fantasy 'greats', your writing in the medieval 'idiom' is the most authentic in terms of colloquialism / style of language / manner of speaking, syntax, turns of phrase. Many authors write very 'modern' medieval prose. How/where do you learn this authentic manner of accurate syntax/dialogue/prose? Reading a lot of historical fiction, or? Thanks!
