I've just been re-reading the Cordelia-centric books and realized that Kamala Harris walks exactly the way I've always pictured Cordelia's stride - except pants instead of skirts. Hoping you find this to be the compliment that I mean it to be? I know it's not likely but I sure wish we could see more of her. Thanks for all your writing!!

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Part 1 of another couple of questions from me … split into two because of the space limitation. Up to the end of CVA, there are a few hints that Alys and Simon *might* consider getting married at some point. I would love to know more about what they are thinking. Also, other characters speculate about them using the replicator to have biological kid(s) of their own, but Simon and Alys never seem to mention it?

Lois, I noticed in reading Chalion/Paladins that out of all modern fantasy 'greats', your writing in the medieval 'idiom' is the most authentic in terms of colloquialism / style of language / manner of speaking, syntax, turns of phrase. Many authors write very 'modern' medieval prose. How/where do you learn this authentic manner of accurate syntax/dialogue/prose? Reading a lot of historical fiction, or? Thanks!

In his introduction to the first collection of his work (1950), Will F. Jenkins (Murray Leinster) describes the musings and speculations which led to each story. As regards one he says "[It] comes out on paper and I have more fun writing it than anybody will ever have reading it." May I hope that you feel similarly? Your work has given so much enjoyment to so many, including me, it would only seem just!
