Lois McMaster Bujold

Lois McMaster Bujold is an American science fiction and fantasy writer who, as of 2022, has won seven Hugo awards (fan-voted) and four Nebula awards (writer-voted). Bujold's most famous set of recurring characters are in the Vorkosigan universe, which is pure science fiction. Her two additional recurring universes (Sharing Knife, and Penric and Desdemona) are in the fantasy genre.

The "Vorkosigan" series

The first novel of the science fiction Vorkosigan series appeared in 1986, and she seems to have wrapped it up in 2016. It consists of more than two dozen novels or novellas, and a variety of omnibus editions. Most stories occur across two generations of the Vorkosigan family, with closely interlocking histories.

The stories were not written in chronological order for the universe. Between the jumbling of actual publication dates vs. story order, and the existence of several omnibus editions, it can be difficult to catalog all the works in the Vorkosigan saga.
