On Thursday, October 14 from 6:30-7:45 p.m. LOIS McMASTER BUJOLD reads from a new Penric story. The reading includes a free reception and autographing.

Lois McMaster Bujold began writing with the aim of professional publication in 1982 and wrote three novels in three years; in October of 1985, all three sold, launching her popular Vorkosigan Saga science fiction series.  Her fantasy work includes The World of the Five Gods and the Sharing Knife series.  More recently she has been exploring self-e-publishing with the tales of the sorcerer Penric and his demon Desdemona, and other works.

In 2020, Bujold was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America.  A complete list of her awards may be found here: http://www.sfadb.com/Lois_McMaster_Bujold  Her books have been translated into over twenty languages.
