Recently I wrote to you regarding a project I am doing for my freshman class. Unfortunately I have learned that I must conduct such a meeting with the hero of my choice in person. I was wondering if this might be possibly. If it is, I will thank you very much indeed.

Thank you,

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth,

Well, how did you want to go about this? Did you want to meet at your college? Did your teacher want to meet me, too? I’m really curious about the course you’re taking and how you came to choose me for your project. I’m also quite surprised that your teacher wants you to conduct the interview in person, will the interview be on camera?

Cheers,
Todd

Just wanted to say I’m very impressed by your website. Most noteably the ‘blog’. It’s really nice to see your normal, every day comments. Authors are busy people, but I just like it when authors seem more approachable. Or maybe I just like to know abit aboutthe person behind the novel. That a deeper understanding to the book can be obtained, when you know a little about where the author is coming from. I hope that you will continue to write your ‘blog’ into the far future.

Hi Anneke!

Thanks for the compliment. My website is designed by virtualmagpie and they do good work!

Heya!
ok… been talking in the kitchen table live. The question is, “is fighting thread easier or harder at night?” The return response from one of the hosts was this has been talked about, but they decided thread must not fall at night. If it doesn’t fall at night, my theory as to why would be “When thread falls, the thread is attacted to pern by the planet reflecting light making it glow like a full moon. Thus when it is night, the thread would not have the migration instincts to fall.” Is this the reason? Has it just not been addressed, perhaps a future book might. Or is ther some other reason behind thread not falling at night.

Cheers,
Steven

Hi Steven,

I guess you missed the Monday reading I gave at Dragon*con. The short answer is yes, Thread does indeed fall at night. And the book that deals with this, in part, is Dragonsblood.

Cheers,
Todd
