I have read your Sharing Knife series more than 20 times, and it has helped me through some of the darkest times of my life. I served for 4 years in the USMC, then nursing school for 4 years. I've been an ER RN for 10 years. I was just accepted at university for my Psychiatric Nurse Practicioner degree. When I can finally build a hospital, may please name the library in your honor? Dag and Fawn have kept me alive. TY

I am glad my work helped nourish you when you needed it. (And I'm always especially pleased to hear a good word for The Sharing Knife tetralogy.)
I've never had a library named in my honor, but it would be cool. Though I once had a name plaque on a chair in a library auditorium, that some fans rustled up for me when the library was canvassing. I suppose I can always hope for an asteroid. I did have an experimental rescue robot named after me once, years ago, which was a treat.

Dear Lois McMaster Bujold, First of all, in my household, my father regarded you as the best that SciFi had to offer and it was stories of Miles retold to me as an asthmatic child in the ER, for the umpteenth time impatiently breathing away through a nebuliser cursing myself and my asthma for millionth time, that place you upon so high a pedestal. Was Dubauer based upon a real life person?

Hi Lois... I have Flowers of Vashnoi sitting in my Kindle, but I just can't bring myself to start it. Once I start it, I know I'll just keep reading until the end, and then it will be over. I like knowing there is a new Vorkosigan book waiting for me, but since I can't have my cake and eat it too, I just want to have it for a while. Is this too weird?

A few years ago I read a book about bioscientist Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues who discovered a powerful way to modify genes (Code Breaker, by Walter Isaacson). It reads like a detective mystery & is as compelling. It shows how scientists cooperate to expand knowledge, and compete for credit for their successes in doing so. Have you read the book? Have any thoughts on it?
