Hi Lois, which character (from all your books) strayed away the most from what you planned for him/her? Which one developed in a most surprising way? Thanks.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Er... all of them?
For simple question, this one is surprisingly hard to answer. For one thing, I would have to remember all my books at the same time. But as a rule of thumb, characters who have the most books over which to develop will have the most stage-time to deliver surprises. Miles, as so often, takes the lead here. (Although, for a one-book character, Wencel Horseriver was pretty obstreperous.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
My children are Elli and Miles (born '95 and '98) ;-) It wasn't deliberate, but we realised after the fact that the reason we loved the names so much was probably because my husband and I are both huge fans of yours. I wonder if you know of many child namesakes of characters? I must say I would quite like grandchildren named Penric and Desdemona but I can't quite see the kids co-operating with that ;-)
