I had passed up Hallowed Hunt because I was so disappointed not to see a new Vorkosigan novel. The peek into the creation process makes me realize that LMB fantasy is all we're likely to get for years.

Thanks for this, theco. I think.

If you haven't read Bujold before you don't know what a treat you have in store for yourself, if you have you know how long it seems between books. One of the few authors I know of that never disappoints me. Makes me think, laugh, and buy new books because I can't wait for it to hit the used book store shelves.

I've always enjoyed reading anything Bujold has published; and this interview makes her even more fascinating: getting this sort of insiders' view of the creative processes are what really prick my interest.

Wonderful interview! Can't wait to get Hallowed Hunt, and the next New Thing. (-: The otter analogy is very entertaining.

Me personally while the fantasy is different i do find the quality holds up quite well. Curse of Chalion has echo's of Mirror Dance, and Paladin reminds me equally of Barrayar and Memory. Hallowed Hunt is genuinely unique, but of no less quality than the 'average' Bujold.

Oh, I bought Chalion's Curse, and read it, and found it enjoyable. Palladin and Hunt will probably also find their way to my shelves (in paperback), now that I know there is no further Miles madness in the works...

Ah, i did see Paladin in pb the last time i was in a store, the cover actually shrank down nicely. Enjoy.

If you're the least bit hesitant, go read the sample chapters. I can guarantee that you'll want to buy the book immediately.

Oh, what V said.

Hell, you can always talk your library into a copy and check it out. Then buy your own copy if (read as: when) you decide you adore it.

Dale,

There are links to other interviews with Lois on her site, and she's doing a couple more cons this year so you might actually be able to meet her.

Blogcritics' editors liked this one. It's a pick of the week. Congrats. Put the news up proudly on your site.

Here's a link to the rest of this week's picks

I'm sorry I am just not a big fan of LB's fantasy stuff...I mean come on, why a sci fi author of her caliber should decide to write about a bunch of barbarians with swords and magic (wtf??!!) is beyond me.

I'm waiting for some sci fi before I'll look at her again.
