The Twin Souls Series

The Twin Souls Series

By |

Come to a world where the gods walk.  Come to a world where creatures are so powerful that they require two souls to exist.

The Winner Twins and I have combined to create McCaffrey-Winner.

One of our first creations was a gaslamp fantasy world including dragons, wyverns, airships, mechanical men, magic, and mayhem — the world of The Twin Souls Series.

 

Winter Wyvern

“Krea was bored and when she was bored bad things always followed.”  

So begins the first story in a gaslamp fantasy world including dragons, wyverns, airships, mechanical men, and magic.

Follow Krea on her journey to a meeting with a dying wyvern, an impossible choice, and a thrilling results.

 

Cloud Conqueror

Captain Ford was given an opportunity he couldn’t refuse: the first airship ever to conquer the clouds.  Designed to slay dragons, wyverns, and all other flying beasts. o bring terror from the skies to all of the King’s enemies.

They succeed beyond their wildest dreams — they kill a wyvern on their maiden voyage.

There’s just one problem — they can’t find the body.

 

Frozen Sky

King Markel is very specific in his orders, “Whatever you do, don’t come back with the crown prince.”

Queen Airivik, has her own demands:  “Whatever you do, don’t come back without the Crown Prince.”

Newly-returned from her maiden voyage, the first ever airship Spite, and her captain, Sir Richard Ford, have been given an impossible choice and a highly dangerous mission.

He and his crew are forced to choose between King and Queen, glory or survival, and loyalty or greed, as they sail to the bitter north to bring back the winter wyvern — dead or alive.

With adventure, witchcraft, romance, meddlesome gods, and danger around every corner, Frozen Sky is the thrilling sequel to Cloud Conqueror, in the Twin Souls Series.

 

Coming soon!  Iron Air.  

Rabel Zebala (Krea’s father) has a secret — one even his daughter doesn’t know.

Which book has pictures of the different Wyers, Holds (especially Ruatha), Landing, Harper Hall, and maybe drawings of some of Pern’s trees, fellis leaves, the bush that makes the needles for injecting (Moreta?), etc?

I have been reading each book since the first Pern book published, and even took one to Ireland. I found your mom’s ( my condolences on her loss) old Hold (not the beautiful new one) and left a pewter mug engraved with Benden Wyer by the front door. Your mom was kind enough to call my hotel in Dublin that night to thank me. Scared me as I was at dinner and never expected to hear my name over the loudspeaker in the dining room saying I had a call. I thought some disaster had happened to my family back in America!!!!!!!!

When I read “Campbell’s Fields” the first time it was mentioned, I had the hubris to think it was named after me! LOL

I bought a book about Pern with, as best as I can remember, drawings in it, but I loaned it to someone and it was never returned. Despise people who do that!

My thanks to your mom for creating such a lovely world filled with such good people and for her firm conviction that the present and future are always much better that we think they are or will be. My thanks to you on not letting Pern and its adventures fade between.

Dear Susan,

Campbell’s Field was actually named for John W. Campbell who was the editor of Analog where Weyr Search and Dragonrider were first published. They later became parts of Dragonflight.

There are a couple of possible books which might be the one you lost. The most likely candidate is the late Karen Wynn Fonstad’s Atlas of Pern. Or you might be thinking of Jody Lynn Nye’s The Dragonlover’s Guide to Pern or possible Robin Wood’s brilliant The People of Pern.

Fortunately, they seem to be available (used in some cases) online.

I hope you find what you’re looking for!

Cheers,

Todd

P.S.: My sister, Gigi, is also writing on Pern. Her first book Dragon’s Code is out now. So there will be more Pern books for you to enjoy!

 Hi Todd, having read all your Mum’s Pern books and then the books you did with her, I was reluctant to read your own Pern books. A sense of loyalty to Anne.
I am glad to say that having read Dragons Blood and Dragon fire, I am just as hooked.I shall have to install another bookshelf or down load more on to Kindle.
Thanks for the reading
regards Graeme

Hi Graeme,

As you may have noticed, I’ve removed your last name from your signature line to protect your privacy.

I’m glad you liked Dragonsblood and Dragon’s Fire. There are six more books — two written solo and four written in collaboration with Mum waiting for you to read.

Also, my sister, Gigi McCaffrey, has released her first pern book, Dragon’s Code which picks up the tale of Piemur, so you’ve lots more to read!

Mum was adamant that only I or Gigi write on Pern. Her last words to me on the subject were, “I trust you implicitly!“

Cheers,

Todd
