Alexa asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

This isn't a question, but I haven't been able to get the system to send you a message any other way? My dad loved your books, but we especially enjoyed Curse of Chalion. Sadly he died in 2019 from mesothelioma. Which is when I discovered that the memorial ribbons for all lung cancers are white or cream. My mom and I are now planning a Bastard's Day ribbon for this year. Thank you! Alexa

Lois McMaster Bujold I am sorry for you loss. And yeah, cancer surely qualifies as a Bastard's chaotic curse, almost literally. I'm glad you find something in my work that supports you.

(The Goodreads messging system, to be found under the little envelope icon at the top right of one's screen, is the best way to send me private messages here. Again, if someone wants to chime in down in the comments with exact instruction on how, please do, because GR certainly does not make it obvious.)

Ta, L.

Maya Chhabra asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi! I'm a fan of your books (both Five Gods and Vorkosigan) and heard you were on a panel about The Untamed! I was wondering if you have watched or are interested in the show Nirvana in Fire, a court intrigue drama that is considered one of the best Chinese TV shows ever? My wife and I keep thinking of some similarities to Vorkosigan due to a physically disabled hero who keeps an intrigue plot moving in creative ways.

Tea G asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Dear Lois, Vorkosigan saga is a masterpiece. Mindblowing thoughts ran through my head while reading it. The world you have created is magnificent. I wish HBO wanted to record tv-series of books. Would you sell them the rights? Have you ever had an offer for a film adaptation? Big greetings from Croatia.
