Hello Ms. Bujold, my family loves your books and we are all wondering if you would even consider making one of your books into a graphic novel?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Well, that's not up to me; some maker of graphic novels would have to ask to license it.
There was one such deal a few years back in French for The Warrior's Apprentice, with Soliel, who were going to do the book in three volumes. The first (which I had thought was pretty good, art-wise) sold so badly, they never did the following volumes.
Either my stories are hard to translate into visual media, or the audience for same isn't much into stores like mine. Or both. Although one data point is not a proof, it was rather daunting. So I'm not holding my breath.

Dear Lois, Thank you for all the excellent hours of reading over the years. I really have to force myself to slow down when you have a new release because it's always bittersweet to wait a year or more for a book and then finish it in a day. I'm really enjoying penric. I'd write more, but I have to get to my question. Do you have any recommendations for someone looking for a new author to read?

Reading Mirror Dance. "The Count (Aral) pointed out his father, mother, brother, sister, and his Vorkosigan grandparents." Even after reading most of the Vorkosigan books at least thrice, I can not remember ever hearing about Aral having a sister. Is she mentioned in any other books? Was she at the massacre, dying along with Aral's brother and mother?
