You know you are a fan when you find yourself dreaming about your favorite characters. I dreamed about Miles Vorkosigan, bombs and secrets yesterday.
Miles Vorkosigan is the lead character in space opera series by Lois McMaster Bujold. His father died in the last book and Miles became Count in his place. Lois McMaster Bujold is one of my favorite authors and I love love this series.
In my dream, someone was throwing bombs at Miles and chasing him down a shiny silver hallway. Than he was with the Council of Counts, defending himself against some charge.
The charge came about because the King (Gregor) declassified some of his earlier escapades. There was a resulting public outcry and some of his fellow Counts (the dream didn’t tell me who! Bad dream!) was using his blackops assignments to discredit him. This part I knew the way you know stuff in dreams.
I have dreamed about my own characters before, but I’ve never dreamed about other people’s characters. Has anyone else? It is strange. All I have to say if I am dreaming up Miles Vorkosigan stories on my own, I really really want a new one to read.
Are you listening, Lois McMaster Bujold? Could you please write a new Miles book? I like your fantasy stuff, but they really don’t compare to the Miles Vor series!

Story Treasury 
Cryoburn was a free download a while back, I really enjoyed it.
Funny you mentioned dreaming… I woke up from a dream about college students renting an apartment really cheap — cheap, because it’s haunted. And the poltergeist has an odd sense of humor.
I liked Cryoburn, too, but I like Diplomatic Immunity best.
Sounds like it would make a fun story. 😉
My most recent dream that I remember and wrote down was about some spyish type thing. I never did that one before.
No? I do it lots of times.
I’ve never read any of these books, but if your dreaming about them, perhaps I should! ^__^
Absolutely you should! They are really good.
