Did you know the cloning aspects of the Vorkosigan Universe are used as examples by Hank Greely of Stanford's Center for Law And Biosciences? It's really wonderful to listen to him praise FALLING FREE (after 17:00, several places) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-MIGpKYJDk

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I gather that there is a nod to Lady Peter Wimsey (Harriet Vane) in Ekaterine Vorvayne. But is there a reverse homage (as far as you know) when Harriet makes it a major project to herself create a garden in the footprint or outline of the burnt-out wing of Duke's Denver (in Jill Paton Walsh's "The Attenbury Emeralds")?

As a lover of all of your books, I also read most of the books that you recommend as well (and like them very much). I am wondering if you have read these books which I treasure: Winter’s Tale by Mark Helprin, and the Master and Commander series by Patrick O’Brian? The first is a complex fantasy; the second may be well outside your area of interest as it concerns the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars .

Lois McMaster Bujold:
"Ethan of Athos" is one of my favorites and, perhaps, one of the most socially significant stories you've written because it demonstrates the power of encounters with the "hated other" to transform bigotry into respect. It's lack of popularity grieves me. I have wondered if a story about a planet made up of women who are equally suspicious of men (but for non-religious reasons) might be better received. Thoughts?
