LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD, AUTHOR OF THE AWARD WINNING NOVEL, PALADIN OF
SOULS, IS THE GUEST ON THE MAY EPISODE OF FAST FORWARD.

Writer Lois McMaster Bujold is interviewed on this month's episode of

Hunt. A video version of the entire interview is available online at

The May episode of Fast Forward also features Colleen Cahill
