Alternate universes:
A few hours to dwell in Barrayar, Liaden Universe, Pern, Darkover,
Discworld, Valdemar, Camber, Hogwarts, Camp Half Breed . . .
the imagination to create them, the willingness to share them, the
people to live with in imagination. And the friends who introduced them to
me. Experiencing things in an alternate
universe helps think through things in this one. Some of the finest work about duty and
relationships, growing up, balance, nuance, unintended consequences, memory,
all in a good romp of a story. Sometimes
I can’t come to the table until Selenay has been crowned or lifemated, Miles
has gotten away from Jackson Whole, the new Renunciate has taken her vows, Theo has a
job, Thread has been fought, . . .
