Hi Lois, Have you considered teaching? Your speeches teach much. I'd bet you'd be terrific at teaching what you know
Lois McMaster Bujold
I did a few workshops early in my career, but in general I find teaching pretty exhausting, so I duck those gigs now. The thing about teaching is that one needs to be able to cover rather more than what one knows, according to the needs of the pupil.
As far as writing teaching goes, I usually direct people on to Pat Wrede's blog, http://pcwrede.com/blog/ , or her collected-posts book Wrede on Writing. She does this sort of thing so very well.

I love seeing Penric and Des grow and develop together and Penric is a charming lesson in positivity. I look forward eagerly to their next story. But Des is like the shaman's great beasts. And now she seems to have an identity separate from her individual riders. Can she become MORE than a demon?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Have you considered (or more to the point would you consider offering an ebook boxed set/s of the Vorkosiverse? I read many but not all of them years ago, and find myself wishing I could fill in the blanks. After finishing your latest (fantastic btw) I realized I'd love to just reread the series. I'd be very interested in an ebook box set or two with those spiffy new covers you showed recently.

Hi, Lois! It’s Mary from the Mysteries from the Yard era. Whenever I feel really down, there are three books that I turn to, reading several time a year (life’s a b—- and all…): Gaudy Night, Pride and Prejudice, and A Civil Campaign. It strikes me that I have never asked which books from Charlotte and Georgette you turn to? I especially would love to know - what is your favorite Heyer title?
