Will you be publishing a L&D 2e through Mad Scribe, or is the Polish project basically covering that ground (in addition to much more)?

Baptism of Fire will be L&D Expanded Edition (not 2e, because the core rules are still entirely the same; just with new things added; it remains fully compatible with L&D).

I don't have much room in my life for paper books unfortunately due to being a seaman so the few I do keep beyond a first reading I like to have nice ones.  I would love to see you doing both a full collection of all your L&D in one volume and S&C with all of it's supplements in a single volume, both in nice hard covers.  Your books are visually beautiful as well as usable. 

My fantasy setting is a bit more fantastic than your more grounded medieval one but I love to take things from your book and put them in my game frequently.  Some of the elements my players love about my world are actually things I borrowed from Arrows of Indra and Dark Albion.  (Don't tell them though, I still want to bask in the light a little longer.)

Well, I appreciate that. Someday there might be a single gigantic "omnibus edition", but there's no immediate plan for that. There's also the problem that the various books (even for just L&D/S&C) being spread out among three different publishers.

Do technically AoI exists in shared universe with medieval European-Middle East ones?

Well, I never thought of it as akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or anything like that, but to try to answer your question:
-Lion & Dragon (and its settings Sword & Caravan and Dark Albion, the upcoming Baptism of Fire, and other sourcebooks are all fully compatible with each other, but S&C takes place 250 years before Dark Albion, and Baptism of Fire takes place about 200 years before S&C.
-Star Adventurer and Invisible college have systems that have very tiny variations from the L&D system but are almost totally compatible.
-World of the Last Sun and the Gonzo Fantasy Companion are setting material for my Last Sun DCC campaign, so they are OSR-compatible with the aforementioned books but not the exact same system (of course, they have TONS of system-neutral stuff in them, including an enormous amount of random tables and random generators).
-Arrows of Indra is an earlier product. It is OSR-compatible as well, but again is not the exact same system as either the L&D books or Last Sun. Time-wise it happens in Mythical India (the setting of the Mahabharata), so that's theoretically thousands of years before any of the L&D books, but there's still stuff (like monsters and magic items) that would easily fit into the Sword & Caravan setting in particular.

Quote-Lion & Dragon (and its settings Sword & Caravan and Dark Albion, the upcoming Baptism of Fire, and other sourcebooks are all fully compatible with each other, but S&C takes place 250 years before Dark Albion, and Baptism of Fire takes place about 200 years before S&C.

So Dark Albion is like 1400s?

The timeline of Dark Albion is 1453-1483.

The timeline of Sword & Caravan is roughly 1190-1220

The timeline of Baptism of Fire is a bit more fluid, but the default starting date is 1025, though you could start as early as 961 or so, and play until as far as 1058.
