Has anyone important ever asked you about making a movie of "Shards of Honor"? It's one of my all-time favorites and seems quite cinematic.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Short answer is, no.
I actually think Shards would be much easier to make into a feature film (that resembled the book -- not that Hollywood cares about that) than The Warrior's Apprentice, which is the one people seem to focus on. (Although the latter might go well as a TV mini-series.) But movie rights are a buyer's market, and there are very few legit, actually-capable-of-making-a-film producers buying.
I also think Falling Free could make a splendid animation or anime. But, as I am not a film producer with access to hundreds of millions of dollars and a couple-three decades of experience in the industry, which is what it takes, it is not up to me.

I just reread "Diplomatic Immunity" for the umpteenth time and wondered if you ever had any plans to write a story about what the Cetagandan Star Crèche might have ended up doing with Miles' blood sample/genome? The first time I read it back in 2002 I hoped they would somehow be able to use it to make his body much better.

Thanks for the answer, and so quick! Unfortunately, I'm still confused -- is the Peninsula to the east or the west of the map in Orphans? As I look at the island chain, it looks as if it should be to the west, but as I read the book and look at the maps on the site, I feel as if it is to the east. Again, thanks. I just like to be oriented!
