Hi Mr. McCaffrey:
I just got my copy of Dragonsblood and I can’t wait until my five year old daughter is asleep so I can gobble down my book in peace.

Do you sign bookplates? If so, may I have your autograph please?

Thank you,

Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Please feel free to call me Todd. I get the urge to look behind me to see who people are talking to when they say “Mr. McCaffrey.”

My daughter’s almost eleven. Five is a great age.

I hope you got to gobble down your book peacefully. I’ll send your bookplate out as soon as I can find a stamp.

Cheers,
Todd

Mr. McCaffery
I purchased my copy of Dragonsblood today and I could not wait until I have finished reading it to tell you that it is a wonderful and enthralling book. I was afraid that you would not be able to live up to the standards that we readers had come to expect from a Pern novel, but you have done it.

Thank you,

Frieda aka Helva

Frieda,

Thank you very much! Whew! I was hoping that people would like Dragonsblood. As you say, there are high standards for a Pern book and I’m glad that you think I’ve met them.

Cheers,
Todd
