Loved Dragonsblood and how it wrapped up some loose ends. My jaw was hanging wide open, literally, the last half of the book! Am looking forward very much to new Pern books!

Just wanted to drop this tidbit in… I started reading the Pern books in the sixth grade and after devouring them all, moved on to Anne’s other universes. I discovered the Talents, and being a typical kid drooled over the silver locks Rhyssa, Damia, and Damia’s children all have. I wanted one of my own so I could identify with them! Although, I never did dare assume I had any vestige of Talent.

Then I actually started sprouting some white hairs! nearly ten years later, as a 22-year-old, I have my own thick chunk of natural white hair at the top of my head, near the bangs area. Quite odd, since I’m very much a brunette and none of my family exhibits any gray til past 50.

Wouldn’t it be amusing if reading Anne’s Talent books had actually helped me LOOK like Damia (as on the paperback’s cover)??

We hope that you can make the next one in October. (If we can ever decide whether to have it on the 23rd or 30th.) We know that tends to be a very busy month for you, but we would all love to have you both come back again. This time we’ll have a pocket dictionary with us to define the text twist words better!

Hugs from all here.

I was hoping I could ask you a question. I sent Anne an email over a month ago now, I think and didn’t receive a reply so am hoping I can find out this way.

As you may or may not know, I am still a host at the New Kitchen Table, and we are hoping to have a biography of Anne’s books somewhere linked to our home page, and I was wondering if I need to, or if I could somehow get permission to post the blurbs from the books to go with a picture of the cover of each book (or as many as I can find and get blurbs for) to go with it, so that people who haven’t read certain books can get a general idea of what the book may be about.

Do I need special permission to do this? Do you know how I could get permission?

Also I remember that we were told – the hosts of the Old Kitchen Table, that our website address would be added to the links of message boards that you have listed under Fan Links, but it’s been over 6 months now and we are not still there, I hope this is an oversight and that we can be added soon!

I saw on our forums today (http://www.annmccaffreyfans.org) that you went to the gather today (yesterday for you now, I think :D). It looks like you had fun! I wish I could have been there, but there is just too much land and sea inbetween here and there for me to be able to attend easily! LOL

Well, I hope you get this email, and that everyone is doing well!

Take care!
