Christine asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

? Wanted to send you a note to say how much I have enjoyed the Vorkosigan saga. My husband introduced me to Shards of Honor, and I fell in love with your writing style and the characters. We just got a new puppy this weekend and named him Ivan. My husband wanted to be able to yell, "That idiot Ivan!" when the dog does something. Thought it was a perfect name for a lovable pup that will inevitably become a scapegoat.

Lois McMaster Bujold
Good luck with your puppy!

bests, Lois.

(PS, Persons who want to send brief personal messages can also do so through Goodreads' own message/e-mail system. So far, I've only used mine to answer, not to initiate, but it doesn't seem to be too opaque, though it may have other quirks of which I am still unaware.)
