Hi Lois! In Masquerade in Lodi, thank you for acknowledging the question I previously raised here on Goodreads about the existence of saints of the Son. I was tickled pink to read that comment! Will you perhaps be examining that issue in more detail in a future story, or is this all we get? ;-)

Saints of the Son are not impossible (that shaman in "Penric and the Shaman" was nearly one, functionally) but they would be rare. As are all saints, really. But Pen is more professionally likely to run into them than most folks would be; a biased sampler, as it were.
I have no idea what may turn up in a future story. I generally have to write them to find out, myself.

What (and roughly where, in "our" world) are the 7 hinterlands in the Wide Green World? Oleana seems to be most of the midwest, Raintree further west (toward the Mississippi and south a ways); it's not clear where Seagate is though there's mention of snow-topped mountains, and it's not clear what hinterland Graymouth / New Moon etc. are in. I think of Luthlia as being Minnesota, perhaps up into the Dakotas / Manitoba.

Hi Lois,
I just read Penric's Demon (my only Five Gods book so far), and loved it. My question is related to gender and sexuality. There are several indications in the book that Pen, so far a straight youth, is starting to find men attractive under the influence of Desdemona (particularly Rusillin). Is it possible that Pen will end up becoming bisexual, and Desdemona in turn a bi-gendered, bisexual demon?

Hi Lois, me and my brother were were wondering if you had any ideas for a new Vorkosigan book? We were thinking it'd be cool if you wrote a book based in the years of Aral's Regency... or perhaps a couples adventure featuring Miles, Ivan and their better halves.
