Psst... more Cazaril, PLEASE?!? Most amazing and endearing character I've found in literature so far, MUST HAVE MORE!! Prequel? When he was captured and incarcerated?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, a Caz prequel would be barred from a happy ending, pretty much. And a Caz sequel would be, inevitably, a lesser story than the one already told.
One of the things I'd wanted from the Chalion series, insofar as it has developed, was to get away from its being stuck on one set of characters in one time and place. I sort of want it to be able to shift around to different times and countries and new people, and perhaps different thematic and theological concerns. This runs rather counter to the usual notions of series, which work to attach the readers to particular characters. I don't know when or if I'll ever follow this scheme up, or out.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
More than a question, I want to thank you very much because your books, especially those of Miles Vorkosigan, helped me to overcome a bad moment in my life. Thank you very much, what was your inspiration to create Miles? Sorry if the message was badly written but I used the google translator and little knowledge in English

I am a hige fan of the Vorkosigan saga. I love the main characters. But lately, I have developped a soft spot for By. Rereading Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, I began wondering did Richars have anything to do with the rumours By's father believed about him and his sister - either directly or indirectly. And if yes, what was that done in retaliation for? Thanks! 🙂
