Your Murderbot series is excellent, and I've read a great deal of sci-fi in the past 60 odd years. As a visual artist myself I like that I can imagine the worlds and characters in the series easily. Your dialogue is snappy and often unexpected--so much fun! I look forward to your next Murderbot novel and will make sure my public library adds it to the series. Perhaps Murderbot will "free" other bots in future ?
Martha Wells
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Martha Wells:
I just finished re-reading the Murderbot books. While reading, I noticed that Murderbot's character was very similar to asexual (ace)/agender/aromantic. Being ace/agender, I loved how you brought this up early and kept it consistent. Were you trying to align Murderbot with these identities, or was it a coincidence? Either way, I rarely find a character I can identify with like that, so it means a lot to me! Thank you!
