Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hello: My name is Carol Smith. I am a mother and grandmother of eight children. The title of your book "The Orphans of Raspay" has my attention. I have not read the synopsis. What can you tell me about this book that would make me want to read it?
Lois McMaster Bujold
The synopsis on the vendor pages is accurate, because I wrote it myself. Ferex https://www.amazon.com/Orphans-Raspay... also on iBooks and Nook.
I can't tell if you would like it, because every reader is different, but I can say the hero in this novella is a grownup, with grownup-level problems, which include looking out for other people.
It's fine to start here -- the story stands alone -- although there is a beginning to the arc, featuring a younger Penric, "Penric's Demon", that tells how his string of adventures first got started.
If you do read it/them, do report back and tell us how/if you enjoyed them.

I hope you're having a lovely day, Ms Bujold. I was wondering if there was any chance of you attending NerdCon: Stories? The possibility of your attendance is probably just wishful thinking on my part, but I'm sure the panels and conversations being held there would benefit greatly from your input. And I (and the group I am going with,) would certainly be excited to see you in person!
