Sarah Pacetti asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hello! I've just started Shards of Honor and I'm absolutely entranced. Your writing is so visual and captivating. I'm hooked! For many many years you've been one of my sister's absolute favorite authors and I was wondering if you have any signings or appearances planned, so we might try to make a point to come out and see you some time and nerd out about science fiction? Thank you!

Lois McMaster Bujold
Welcome to my work! I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment.

I don't do many personal appearances anymore -- travel etc. is the "retired" part of my "semi-retired" state. Once in a while I'll do something around the Twin Cities, but I don't have anything planned at the moment.

Also once in a while -- I resist -- someone will catch me for some online something. Latest was this:

But such things aren't exactly interactive.

Ta, L.

Emma Bilz asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hello! New reader here, really enjoy your books. Since you have written books of both the fantasy and sci-fi genres I was wondering if it was possible to combine the two? Would you have to minimise the magical element to it or just make magic follow a certain set of rules such as other forces do?

Dear Lois. I just finished Gentleman Jole and I was delighted by it. I really appreciate you developing the characters to new stages of life, though I admit I miss the more exciting times when they were young. Please accept my heartfelt Thank you for your creative proccess and many good moments spent reading your work. I hope you are planning to keep on writing Miles Books along these lines in the following years?

Tania Maradiaga asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Do you have advice for a young woman trying to get a book published? For example, how to go about the process and determine which agency is trustworthy? It seems that if you are not yourself/do not know any celebrities, the process is extremely difficult.
