It may be worth noting that Goodreads recently changed their default messaging settings. Members can no longer direct message authors unless you change your 'Who Can Send Me Private Messages' setting to 'anyone'. I noticed you recommended this form of contact to readers seeking to send fanmail, so I thought you might prefer to keep that option available. Much love! https://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?tab=settings

Aha, I did not know that. Change made. Thanks!
I consider Goodreads to be my public PR face, not a private one, not that anything is truly private on the internet. I'll have to see if this change puts me in the way of more spam. GR is pretty good about keeping that out.

Hi Lois, this is Albert from Minneapolis, we have met at CONvergence many years ago. I would like to know if you have been approached either via agent or directly on adapting your Barrayar stories to screen. Miles and his family are very interesting characters and that universe has many intriguing facets so I was wondering if you have any thoughts on it on TV or big screen?

Not really a question, but something I thought you might find interesting. Based on my buying Prisoner of Limnos, Amazon thinks I would like Sunday's Child by Grace Craven, Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis, Quillifer by Walter Jon Williams, Paladin of Souls by somebody or other, The Mongrel Saga by LE Modesitt, Ballista by Steven Brust, Forged in Fire by Olan Thorensen, and Book Night on Union Station by EMFoner. ?

Is Aral's middle name Selig, making it actually little Selig's middle name? If so, what is his first name? Or is it Grandpa Sasha's middle name? Or did they not go with tradition? I know it's certainly a name in Vorkosigan history. You use a lot of British idioms in the V books - is that to give them a certain "not from around here" flavor, or just phrases you yourself use, or?
