Question from Donna

Question from Donna

Mr. McCaffrey I am a long time fan of the dragon rider series (began reading in 1975) your dear mother wrote. I have read and reread the first core 6 novels over the years until the spines wore out. I have the first three flight, quest and white dragon on kindle. however dragonsong, singer and drums are not available on kindle. Do the publishers plan on making the Harper Hall serices available on Kindle? Patiently waiting not to have to turn a page. thank you. Donna


Hi Donna,

I really hope that we’ll get every one of Mum’s books available as eBooks soon.

The reason that the Harper Hall trilogy is not yet available is that the books come out through different publishers and that the contracts needed revising to permit eBooks (as the original books were published long before anyone even thought of eBooks).

However, what with having to get contracts to and fro and then getting things into production, it takes a while.

All of which is totally out of my control so I can do is counsel patience.

Cheers,
Todd

Hey Todd!
I absolutely love the Dragonriders of Pern series. Every book has a new am exciting adventure! They have been my go-to books whenever I need a break from reality. I just recently finished reading all the books a third time, and they never get tiring. I was just wondering where Pern goes from here? Or if the journey has come to an end? It would be sad to have the series end. However, I understand all good stories must end at some point. I just hope it isn’t too soon.

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for your kind words.

I certainly hope that there will be more Pern to come. Mum was quite specific in her Will that the only two people who could write on Pern were me and my sister (Georgeanne Kennedy).

Right now we’re still getting the Estate sorted so it will be some time before we get things on track.

Cheers,
Todd

Woke this morning thinking about Anne. I live in Northern Wisconsin and we recieved 9″ of heavy snow last night. I’ve been re-reading Poweres That Be so it doesn’t suprise me. I see you were at a con this last weekend and wish that all went well. Hope you’re doing O.K. and feel that your mom is proud and watching over you. Take care of yourself, live well. Be safe.
always a fan,
Sharon


Thanks!

I think Mum right now is just chuffed that she’s getting a Michael Whelan cover for Dragonwriter: A Tribute to Anne McCaffrey and Pern — Mum always loved a Whelan cover.

And thank you for your kind wishes!

Cheers,
Todd

Question from Pamela

Hello Todd,

I was wondering if you knew if the Harper Hall Trilogy will come out in ebook? I have been checking and checking and have yet to see it.

Thank you,
Pamela

Hi Pamela,

I suppose you wouldn’t be surprised to learn that your question is one of the most frequent ones I receive at my website.

I know this is being worked on but it’s something out of my hands and it also depends upon whether you’re talking abou eBooks in the US or in the UK/Commonwealth as different publishers were involved.

Certainly, they’ll be available soon, I hope!

Cheers,
Todd
