I'm a librarian at the Worcester PL (MA) and the leader of our SF Book Club. A few years ago we read A Civil Campaign and in March 2025 we'll be reading Komarr. Many SF authors have joined our meetings, including Allen Steele, Robert J. Sawyer, Walter Hunt, Adam Hamdy, Elizabeth Moon, etc. Would you like to join our online mtg in March, meet some fans, and talk about your book? Love to have you join us!

For all such private inquiries that require a private answer, please contact me through the Goodreads messaging system, to be found under the little envelope icon at the top right of one's screen.
I believe one must have "friended" someone to use it, which is easy with me because I automatically friend anyone who asks, who appears to be a normal reader. Anyone who has had more experience using this not-intuitively-obvious system, please chime in below with further instructions.
I sympathize with the frustration at trying to use Goodreads to contact someone, but the "Ask the Author" column can only show public replies.

Recently I read parts of my first book, published 11 years and books ago, to get details for a sequel. I was surprised at the skill of that alien time-lost author. Have you ever experienced anything similar? By the way, as I do every few years, I'm re-reading the Vorkosigan stories starting with Cordelia's books. I'm buying the ebook versions despite having the print books. Eyesight changes make ebooks easier to read.

Have you read Run with the Horsemen, by Ferrol Sams? The protagonist is Miles, by another name and in another time and place. Your characters (and those of Dr. Sams) are brilliant, surprising, and so endearing as to make the craziness of their lives seem reasonable. Thank you for sharing your great gift with me and, I guess, the rest of the world.
