    I have read every single one of your books. You are phenomenal. I appreciate you so much. I've been in a tough spot lately, and your ability to take me out of the world and place me into a new one is captivating. Thank you. Looking forward to more from you! I am loyal to you as an author indefinitely.

    "Check yourself and see if there are any metal parts that are sticking through you."
    So, Jim. What you are saying is this? "Check yourself because you wrecked yourself? Reasonable.

      Which series do you want? The Sharing Knife is a four book self contained series so ya gotta start with the first one. The Chalion series is more stand alone, so you can read them in any order.
      I started the Vorkosigan series with "Borders of infinity" - three short stories set at various points in the sequence held together with a framing device, then read "Mirror Dance". I then went back and picked up the first two: "Shard of Honour" and "Barrayar" which is the introductory arc to the series.
      Lois is completely awesome, both as a person and as a story-teller. I will gladly read anything she wants to write. You will never regret becoming addicted.

      Oh, by the way, the way Jim is sitting is the way one of the most important characters in the Vorkosigan series sits.

      I know exactly the one you mean.... "Falling Free" about the quaddies and their escape from the corporation which built and owns them, along with a human engineer who becomes their friend - and hero. It's the "prequel", I guess to the Vorkosigan series.

      +RamBam3000 I know, right? I can't sit any other way when I'm trying to be leader-teacher guy. I blame Lois.

    The guy saying urban fantasy was a young genre made me laugh. Have you heard of Bram Stoker, sir?

      Dracula and his other works are considered gothhic or victorian. The term urban fantasy, from a marketing stand point only really became a term and was used as far back as the 1920s. which foor other genres is supppper young. thats what he means, if you even look up urban fantasy you get a lot of books made in the last 30 years as apposed to 100.
