Thank you for the Vorkosigan saga, Memory especially has gotten me through some hard times. Is Lt. Jole,( Aral's military secretary in The Vor Game ), the same character as Gentleman Jole ? Thank you for your time, effort, and artistry.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Yes, Jole is the same character -- 23 years later, so "same" is an arguable term. :-)

Again I am rereading Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. Knowing G. Heyer is was something of an early influence for you, the thought drifted across my mind that Ivan is a many generations distant descendent of Freddy from Cottilion (he is my favorite character amongst Heyer's books). Both tend to be overshadowed by brighter stars, both have down to earth common sense. Was Freddie also a favorite of yours?

Dear Ms. Bujold, Hope you don't mind information rather than a question? I thought you might enjoy this Washington Post article, as what is happening with maggots is remarkably similar to your Butter Bugs idea in the Vorkosigan Saga: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/03/maggots-could-revolutionize-global-food-supply-heres-how/ Sincerely, Brad Berens

This isn't a question, but I haven't been able to get the system to send you a message any other way? My dad loved your books, but we especially enjoyed Curse of Chalion. Sadly he died in 2019 from mesothelioma. Which is when I discovered that the memorial ribbons for all lung cancers are white or cream. My mom and I are now planning a Bastard's Day ribbon for this year. Thank you! Alexa
