That be what I thought. What'd she write?

She's probably best known for the Vorkosigan series, which is sci-fi, and pretty good sci-fi. It starts with Cordelia's Honor, which is a duology about Miles's parents, but the series is about Miles Vorkosigan, a prenatally-damaged hyperactive brilliant crazy guy who works for the government (that's a rough summary).

She also has some fantasy, I think one series and some other books, but I'm not sure. I know she's got the Sharing Knife series, and then the Curse of Chalion and Paladin of Souls and then the Hallowed Hunt.
