Hi Lois: I'm 100% new to this. Just published my book: Antebellum Struggles" with KDP. I don't know how my book appeared on Goodreads, but I'm glad it did. It's an "African-American historical fiction" novel on slavery and plantation drama in 1852. I've googled "How to get book reviews?" 'til I'm blue in the face. Any suggestions would be soooo appreciated. Thanks.

My experiences with breaking in are too far out of date to be useful in the new millennium. Anyone else wants to chime in with suggestions, feel free to use the comments section below.
If you check your Goodreads "Author Dashboard", which should be accessible from the drop-down menu on the picture cartouche on the far upper right of your own profile page, there are an assortment of author tutorials from GR. I've not looked at them myself, so cannot speak to their utility.

I don't want to be a pain. But the more of your books I'm reading, the more I'm enthused about certain characters. I'm glad you re-introduced Bel Thorne in Diplomatic Immunity which I've only just started, because I loved the glimpses we got of him...
Having said that... Gregor, any chance of a novel or story from his POV? It would be fascinating.. "Let's see what happens, shall we?"

Lois McMaster Bujold:
A lifelong fan of sci-fi books, I worked in publishing for 40 years. Yet it was only in 2021 when I stumbled upon THE CURSE OF CHALION with its compelling, complex, and shrewd characters and a world with a sophisticated and believable theological/magical system. Since then I have read almost all your works (a few volumes of Miles still to go). So why are your books not better known? How did this injustice happen?
