Hi, huge fan here. Do you have any idea why ebook versions of the Penric & Des novellas are not available on Libby/Overdrive, but the audiobooks are? I'm on several libraries and the only ebook is "Penric's Demon." Usually there is an option to recommend books that your library does not have, but it's like the rest of the ebooks aren't even in Overdrive's system, even though they exist on amazon.

We have not licensed them to Overdrive. "Penric's Demon" and a few other titles were an experiment in that direction, undertaken with a lot of hassle -- Overdrive doesn't make it easy -- which fizzled out. Rather disappointing.
Blackstone markets their audiobooks to libraries (and everywhere else.) I have no idea how they make them work -- I suspect they have a dedicated department to deal with the details -- but I'm glad they apparently succeed.

Hi Lois, you just said in an answer that as an introvert, you would have hated being under the dome, but that Miles did okay. Does that mean he's an extrovert? And while we're on the topic of personalities, can you tell us what your and his Hogwarts houses are? Or Myers-Briggs type, if you prefer that?

Do you have a favorite historical mystery series? I really like how Penric #2&3 reminded me of the atmosphere of the above genre. Penric's Fox especially made me realize how cool of a combo fantasy and mystery can be. Same with the Bastard cult mystery in the beginning of Cazaril's story. Happy Holidays, Elto
