I'm sure you get tired of people asking this, but we want to order Masquerade in Lodi in print as well as on OverDrive for the library. Any release date for the print version? I can't find it in your posts.

(Writing at the end of October 2020): The novella has only just been offered to SubPress, ink not dry on the contract, so nothing definitive there yet. Since there are now 3 loose novellas, enough to make up market weight in word-count, I would hope for another omnibus someday, but the earliest that could happen is one year after the last SubPress volume is published.
My next thing due out from SubPress is "The Physicians of Vilnoc", which has been scheduled for release July 2021.
It's likewise only just been offered to Blackstone for audio, too soon for any news from that quarter as well. I'll post it on my blog if/when there is.
We've only placed the first of the e-text novellas, "Penric's Demon", on Overdrive so far, along with a handful of other titles for experiment. They remain available as far as I know. Sales have been disappointing compared to the extended hassle of getting them up to Overdrive's specs, so I don't think we'll be doing that as an indie again. The regular publishers and Blackstone have their own arrangements.
Remember the Baen paper versions for your libraries, please!

Lois McMaster Bujold:
As you've gotten older, wiser, and perhaps a more capable writer, do you look back on things you wrote early in your career and wish you could change them? I once saw an interview with Spielberg about Close Encounters of the Third Kind. He talks about how he could never have had Richard Dreyfus' character go off on the space and leave his children behind, if he'd made the movie after he became a father. Thanks.
