Sorry I cannot make this event. Tempted beyond…
Will it be broadcast? (Via Zoom or YouTube or… anything?) what is the title of the Penric story Ms. Bujold will read?
I don’t believe the Speculations folks usually livestream the readings, but they are frequently recorded and posted to YouTube. If this one is, we will make sure to let people know where to find it.
As to the title of the story, all I know is that it is a work in progress. I don’t know if the author even knows the title yet!
