I sent this to your mother’s e-maill site:

Anne –

I have been a great fan of your writing for a long time. I just finished reading Dragon’s Kin which you and your son co-wrote. I would like to let you know that I found it just as enjoyable as all of your other Pern novels. I think he’ll do well in carrying on the McCaffrey tradition.

I just wanted to let you know as well how much I enjoyed the book. It was perhaps made even more meaningful to me as my grandfather was a coal miner.

I had the chance to read the first chapter of her novel and I knew how much it meant to her to have the opportunity to work with you and Anne.

Whatever it was that you wrote, thank you. It’s hard some times to believe she’s really gone. . .
