TrixM asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I just found my account was hacked, so that might explain some of the garbage appearing randomly under reviews (assuming my account is not the only one to be hacked). Some of the other "questions" are patently there to get people to click on their profile names even if no links are embedded. Goodreads' security options are lacking - e.g. we don't have to approve "friends". And authors have no ability to approve Qs?

Lois McMaster Bujold
I have the power to skip or flag peculiar Q&A entries. I should likely skip more of them, but years of ingraining from public schools -- answer every question you can on the test! -- is hard to overcome.

I do have to approve "friends", but as this is a public site for, well, publicity, I don't vet them. (For one thing, that would be much too large a tax on my time and attention.)

Ta, L.

Robert asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I just want to say, I love all the vorkosigan books. Cryoburn’s Aftermaths almost broke my heart. You wish to thank you, for it’s all been inspiring and while I think gentleman Jole and the red queen is a great stoping point, hopefully more Ekaterin stories! ?

Laer Carroll asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Have you read the book about how Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues discovered a way to edit genes? It's titled The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race. I've been reading follow-ups and it's not far-fetched to think that inside a decade or so we may be able to radically transform out bodies, even to changing our sex much more completely than the crude methods of today.

Tara Bozarth asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Do you know if the paperback reprint of Borders of Infinity includes the interactions between Simon and Miles? It is one of the few things I don't own in the series. Reviews and summaries are very confusing because they include various printings and various formats for the various reprinting of both the story and the book.
