Order of Lois McMaster Bujold Books

Lois McMaster Bujold is an American author renowned for her science fiction and fantasy novels. A four-time Hugo Award winner, she shares this achievement with Robert A. Heinlein. Lois began her writing journey in junior high but took a detour when she found that majoring in English wasn't for her. After having two children, she resumed writing, encouraged by friends and published authors Lillian Stewart Carl and Patricia C. Wrede. While she is best known for her Miles Vorkosigan sci-fi series, she also writes the Sharing Knife and Curse of Chalion fantasy series. Bujold became a published author in 1986 with Shards of Honor, followed by two more novels that same year. Below is a list of her books in the order of their initial publication (and in chronological order when necessary):
