Hn asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Lois, thanks for taking the time to write reviews of the books you've read. I've found several new books and authors I now love by browsing your read list. Much appreciated.

Lois McMaster Bujold Thanks! The Goodreads setup makes to easy to dash off a note, and it does give me a handy record of what I've read. It can be disturbing, looking back over my list, how many things on it were forgettable (and duly forgotten); some quite the opposite, and with little relation to what some people dub "quality of writing". Some kind of independent variable thing going on there, perchance.

Ta, L.

A Goodreads user asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I descovered Miles Vorkosigan very near the beginning of your career, and have been a reader ever since. As a writer myself, I hope you don't mind if I ask you about how you work. I'm now reading Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, and I find myself both admiring thehard work you put into it, and wondering about all the characters and how you developed them. Can you please enlighten me, without giving away the store? Thanks

1st, my compliments. Your world building is ever & always the richest most delicious. You are on my personal short list of creative influences. 2nd, is there a connection between the World of the 5 Gods and the world of the Sharing Knife tales? I ❤ the idea that they are on the same planet & have the same pantheon but on different continents at different times: Not-Europe v Not-N.America & Not900s v Not1800
