“For me, writing is more a
process of ‘discovering’ the book than planning it.” – Lois McMaster Bujold
Born in Columbus, Ohio on Nov. 2,
1949 the prolific McMaster Bujold has written nearly 200 novels, collections
and shorter works, won Science Fiction's Hugo Award four times for Best Novel
and twice for her series, and been honored as a Grand Master by The
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.
Bujold's novel Paladin of Souls
and novella The Mountains of Mourning “doubled,” winning both the Hugo
and Nebula Awards, and in the fantasy genre, her Curse of Chalion won
the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature and was nominated for the World
Fantasy Award for best novel.
A longtime resident of Ohio and
graduate of Ohio State, she now makes her home in Minnesota where she continues
to work on what she terms “escapist literature” while also writing a weekly
blog.
“If you ever have to make a choice
between learning and inspiration,” Bujold said, “choose learning. It
works most of the time.”
