Top Retellings of Classic Tales

Kate Davenport asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Wherever you take him, I'm sure I'll enjoy following. The beginning of Penric's Demon just reminded me so strongly of how hard it is for people who know you well to see that you have changed. The two stories also makes me wonder, "Is Desdemona still around during Cazaril's time?" and what would she be like by then?" and what will Foix's demon be like 200 years beyond him, with such an interesting start?"

Lois McMaster Bujold Well, I can't answer those questions, but I can mention there is a new Penric tale in the works. I'll announce particulars on my blog when they materialize, probably in a few weeks.

Foix's demon certainly has a good and lucky start, yes. Bodes well for a long and fruitful future for it.

Ta, L.

Catherine Nemeth asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Wot5G deals with the difference between a Great Soul and what is deemed a Great Person (power, wealth, military victories, etc.) Sometimes a god does favor a soldier. How do the other gods feel about & react to a god’s favorite going around harvesting before their time the souls they are trying to cultivate? Do they understand wars as other than an odd increase in souls? Can the gods even communicate with each other?

Lois, as a reader/purchaser of your work and now thoroughly enjoying the Penric novellas vie eBook - which way of purchasing (iTunes, Amazon etc.) do you get the greatest piece of the pie? I'm figuring that the various methods are not created equal for every author. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia

Mary asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

In this past year I've discovered audio books. Now I own your entire collection in three formats! (Hoarder, much?) I've found that some books really shine when read aloud, no matter who reads them, some shine when presented by a great narrator and some have all their deficits glaringly exposed by being voiced aloud. (Yours shine. Like the sun!) What has been your experience as author and a listener with audio format?
