The book also includes an interview with Lois McMaster Bujold, a timeline of the Vorkosigan stories, genealogical notes, and a pronunciation guide by the book's editor, Suford Lewis. The introduction is by noted writer — and Lois's childhood friend — Lillian Stewart Carl.

Details from author's childhood, interests and her way to sci-fi writing. For those that like the Vorkosigan saga the novels are not really up to par (exception Mountains of Mourning) but this book is still a must have. It gives an excellens view into authors' world during her formative years and beyond. Are you a middle age sci-fi lover you'll feel right at home. The book gives even insight to the Vorkosigan world and how it came to be with a complete thesaurus and Q&A chapter. Review: Great service - Excellent condition, received promptly, great author. Highly recommend this transaction. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,527,705 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,921 in Science Fiction Short Stories #13,074 in Contemporary Literature & Fiction #19,619 in Short Stories (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | ## Images ![Dreamweaver's Dilemma - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/618CTHBTTBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The very beginning of the vorkosigan saga *by E***A on August 22, 2013* A different book with fiction stories and a real life accounts of how those and other fiction stores came to life.

Highly recommend this transaction. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great collection of Americana short stories *by S***A on May 31, 2019* I got a copy of this book years ago and lost it so I bought another copy recently. I'd forgotten how well Lois writes in the "Americana" style of short story. Very quaint, good word pictures, and of course, the title story (Dreamweaver's Dilemma) is a great prelude to the 5-star VORKOSIGAN SAGA stories (which I've read about 12 times, start to finish) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/11865033-dreamweavers-dilemma](https://www.desertcart.at/products/11865033-dreamweavers-dilemma) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
