Lois McMaster Bujold es una escritora estadounidense de ciencia ficción y fantasía.

Nacida en Columbus, Ohio, en el seno de una familia acomodada. Lectora incansable, su afición a la ciencia ficción le viene de la influencia de su padre, Robert McMaster, profesor de ingeniería en la Universidad de Ohio. A los 15 años, la lectura de El Señor de los Anillos despertó su pasión por la fantasía.

Su afición a la lectura le llevó a estudiar Literatura Inglesa, licenciandose en 1972. Contrajo matrimonio con John Bujold, de quien toma su segundo apellido. Fruto de esta relación son sus dos hijos, Anne y Paul.

En 1982, cuando su familia pasaba por un mal momento económico y con dos hijos pequeños que cuidar, se lanzó a escribir profesionalmente. En 1986 fueron publicadas simultáneamente las tres primeras novelas de la serie de Miles Vorkosigan, que le harían saltar a la fama en el panorama de la ciencia ficción.

Bujold vive actualmente en Minnesota, EE. UU. Wikipedia
