Letter from Teannette

Letter from Teannette

Todd,

How cool you were able to see the launch of SpaceshipOne!!!!! We are on our way to what so many people have known and been able to read about through such great authors for many, many years! It is great to be able to look at the people who thought I was a dork for so many years when I tried to explain about your mum’s work, including the Pegasus series and Pern of course! (I didn’t realize I was a nerd until I was 30!! It was quite a shock!!! lol) Some people just don’t get it or don’t want to.

And, boy, do I know about the kiddo thing. While we want to share so much, they rule the roost at that age. I have a granddaughter now, almost a year old and one of the first things I got for her was “A Gift of Dragons” which I look forward to having your mum sign for me at my second ever Con this fall in Atlanta.

Thanks again, and I can’t wait for your next work to come out!!!

Teannette

Hi Teanette!

I’m looking forward (waaayyy forward) to grandkids. I tease my daughter that I’ll be sure to send them lots of loud toys.

I sure hope we’re on our way. I can’t help but remember that Robert Heinlein labelled this century “The Crazy Years” — and so far (sadly) they are living up to the appellation.

Thanks for the encouragement and I hope to see you at Dragon*con.

Cheers,
Todd

Anne McCaffrey Booksignings — Los Angeles, August 2004

As a member of The Writers of the Future Awards Committee, Anne McCaffrey will be signing at the Borders bookstore in Hollywood on Sunset and Vine – August 21st, 2004, 1 – 3 p.m.

Mum has also agreed to some book signings at local bookstores while she is in LA this summer:

Mystery And Imagination – Glendale CA – August 24th, 2004, 7.30 – 10 p.m.

Barnes&Noble, Encino CA – August 25th, 2004, 7.30 – 10 p.m.

Barnes&Noble, Huntington Beach CA – August 27th, 2004, 7.00-9.30 p.m.

Dangerous Visions – August 28th, 2004, 3-5.30 p.m.

Mum regrets that she can only sign two books per person but at the hale age of 78, her hands give out too quickly.

She’ll be signing along with me (she insists).
