I really enjoy the Sharing Knife world. I liked the explanation of the age gap you had in the book. Lifespans. The lakewalkers live far longer than the farmers. Dag has family that lived to 120. Fauns 18 and Dags 54 with 60 more years together would reach old age together at 78 and 114. I know you are done with Faun and Dags story. Are you going to write anymore stories in this world?

Well, there is the novella "Knife Children", Barr and Lily's sequel story, which you may already know about, but apart from that I have nothing at this time.
(If you don't know, it's readily available as a ebook and audiobook at the usual vendors. There is also a print-on-demand edition.)
Yes, the thing about age gaps is that the initial conditions, which are what some people get exercised about, change over time; over enough time, they matter less and less. 10 and 20 is a big age gap; 70 and 80 isn't.

Hi Lois, Love your series, especial Cordelia's and Miles', read them all and got friends and family hooked on your books too. Most recently, Flowers for Vashnio, nicely done. I was wondering if we will see Miles sleuthing around again any time soon? Also, how does one go about requesting a review for their published work? Thanks, Yvonne Rediger VIC Shapeshifter Series Musgrave Landing Mysteries.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I am an admirer of your work. One of your greatest talents is creating whole, interesting characters that make you want to follow the story, and the complete worlds the characters inhabit. When I start one of your books, I know I will escape into another dimension. When you write, do you set the stage (place and time), or does the character evolution do that for you? Do you use outlines in your creative process?
