Readers' Most Anticipated Books for Fall 2025
Deanna Stanley
Deanna Stanley asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I always have a hard time reading Komarr because I see too much of myself and my prior marriage in Ekaterin. Were you drawing from personal experiences (yours or a friend's) when you developed this?

Lois McMaster Bujold
I am pleased that you felt Ekaterin was an authentic representation of these complex and difficult issues.

Ta, L.

Kristina
Kristina asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

First, I love all your books. Thank you so much for writing them! Second, in the afterword to the Young Miles omnibus, you mention two Enya songs - "Cursum Perficio" and "Cu Chulainn" - that you associate with elements in "The Vor Game." Is there any other music that helped inspire your writing, or that you particularly associate with the Vorkosigan or World of the Five Gods books?

Julia
Julia asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

I wonder if you have ever dreamed about any of your characters? Have they or settings/places from your books ever "showed up" in a dream, in any context? Any examples of a character from the Vorkosigan saga interacting with a character from the 5 God series? Do you recall ever having a dream that helped you figure out a plot point or given you aid in your writing? Thank you so much for considering my question.

A lot of your work would make for fantastic television. Has anyone ever approached you with an offer?
