Sophia Farooq asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Hi there, i hope you are doing well. Congrats on your amazing success. I wanted to check if you would kindly review a childrens book i've written dedicated to my late father? I would love your honest feedback and a endorsement. This is apart of my late father legacy and id really appreciate it. This is my first time ever writing a book so any support would mean alot to me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Lois McMaster Bujold No, sorry, I am not a professional reviewer, and I do not read and review on request. My Goodreads reviews are merely comments on (some) things I chanced to read already.

I also do not review works I did not finish, anything I did not like (strong overlap there) or, usually, more than volume one of multi-part works.

(Thank you, by the way, for not putting in the particulars of your book into this unavoidably public reply forum, turning the question into a stealth ad that I can only deal with by not answering at all. I appreciate the courtesy.)

Ta, L.

Jonathan Palfrey asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Rather belatedly, I find myself wondering whether “Penric’s Fox” was at all inspired by the use of foxes in the Rivers of London series. Of course, there may be no connection at all (and the fox has made no second appearance). Would you care to comment?

Robert Phillips asked Lois McMaster Bujold:

Does "Knife Children" put a wrap on the Sharing Knife series? I hope not. I was sad when the Vorkosigan series ended, but as much as I enjoyed it, it is the Sharing Knife series I turn to when the days get short and a cozy chair (with a blanket) is most appealing. Then I need my comfort books. I pull volume 1 off the shelf and read again how Fawn sparks new life in world-weary Dag. Such a great story.

Thank you, I just finished the Flowers of Vashnoi and loved it, as all the Vorkosigan books. Please carry on writing them :). Some authors spoil things when they go on and on but yours continue to delight. I loved Gentleman Jolie too. Not really a question, more a hope?
