Carol Smith asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

What inspires you to write? What makes you choose your genre and why do you like it? How do you reach your audience?

Lois McMaster Bujold These are very large questions to answer in this tiny typing box. For a start, there's this: http://www.dendarii.com/biolog.html

Also this: https://vorkosigan.fandom.com/wiki/Au...

Also my e-nonfiction collection, Sidelines: Talks and Essays available at the usual suspects, Nook, iBooks, and Kindle.

That should keep you reading for a while...

Are you familiar with this news about researchers discovering "cockroach milk" (term used loosely) as a potential "superfood"? Link: https://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/this-gross-creature-may-create-the-superfood-of-the-future? Reminded me of bug butter from the Vorkosigan Saga!

Ms. Bujold -- I don't know if you've run across this news item, but of course I thought immediately of butterbugs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/08/29/mealworm-margarine-could-be-right-around-the-corner-would-you-try-it/ Now all they have to do is make them glorious, right?

Jan asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I've just been re-reading the Cordelia-centric books and realized that Kamala Harris walks exactly the way I've always pictured Cordelia's stride - except pants instead of skirts. Hoping you find this to be the compliment that I mean it to be? I know it's not likely but I sure wish we could see more of her. Thanks for all your writing!!
