Lois McMaster Bujold:
I love your books! Who is your inspiration when it comes to writing?
Lois McMaster Bujold
This question makes the odd assumption that there is a singular answer. But to answer in full would take typing out my entire biography, which there is no space (nor endurance) to do here.
However, if you scroll back through this Q&A column, you will find a lot of similar questions asked and answered previously, which should cover it. (Since there are something like 600+ entries so far, this should keep you busy for a while.)
There is also this: http://www.dendarii.com/biolog.html
and other older material on the site, and a pile of interview links at the Vorkosigan wiki,

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I love your books; your turn of phrase is always a delight, and your character-driven sci-fi and fantasy, in all of their various sub-genre forms, is amazing. Since Goodreads won't accept stated compliments (it wants a question mark): So, how do you feel about cosplay? I'm planning a Cetagandan ghem-Lieutenant for CONvergence and Gaylaxicon this year. Your non-specific but evocative descriptions are a great boon!

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hi, Lois! I just wanted to reach out to thank you so much for your amazing books. I read Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls back in high school, and I liked them, but I'm rereading them now as an adult and fully appreciating them in ways that are new. Thank you for writing books that stand the test of time. Curse of Chalion is magnificent and a breath of fresh air! Hope you don't mind me thanking in your questions?

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hi there! I am looking to get into your work. I have The Curse of Chalion in my bookshelf, ready for me to dig in. But I thought I would ask you, the author, a question: "Which book written by you would you recommend for a first-timer?" It can be a personal favorite, it can be a book you feel is your best work, or a book that represents your oeuvre?
