Hi Todd,

First off my condolences on the passing of your Mom, the world will be a poor place without her.

I just finished Dragonsblood & there was an advert at the end stating that Dragonrider would be released in May of 2011. I gather this was delayed due to the loss of your Mom, but is there any idea when we might expect to see this?

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your condolences. In the past few years we’ve lost a lot of remarkable people. I think though, that they would all wish that, rather than mourning their loss, we take up the challenge of brightening the world in ways even more awesome than they had themselves.

With regards to Dragonrider — names change. In this case Dragonrider became (if memory serves) Dragon’s Time which came out in June 2011 as one of the last two collaborations between myself and my mother.

Cheers,

Todd
