Dear Colleen,

My sister, Gigi, is the only other person, per Mum’s Will, allowed to write on Pern.

Currently, she is working very diligently on making her first book the best possible first book she can.

When she’s done, we’ll doubtless both sit down and figure out what’s going to happen next.

Cheers,

Todd

Todd .. PLEASE please tell me that your Mum left you her notes on Pern???? there was some mighty big threads left hanging… like F’lessen and Tai … and what became of “lord” Toric and his connection to the Abominators and does Pinch find out what Toric puts forth to doing and ANYTHING about Pern would be GREAT!!!! THANKS and looking forward to more about PERN and the Dragonriders……..

Well, right now my sister Gigi is working on her first Pern novel.

She wants to get it right because, as we all know, it only has to be an international best-seller that pleases every single fan. (So, no pressure, sis!).

After that, we’ll see!

If you’re willing to read off of Pern, I’ve got my high-tech thriller, City of Angels out now, and we’ll probably see my humorous The Jupiter Game coming out early next year (maybe sooner!).

Neither are Pern, obviously, but both were a lot of fun to write.

Cheers,

Todd

Hi Mr McCaffrey Just reading Dragongirl (again!!) and I was wondering if After the fall is over is likely to be published if it was ever completed after your mum’s death by yourself and your sister Gigi. Also have you got any new Pern books coming out soon?

Hi Julie,

Glad to hear that you’re reading Dragongirl again!

Gigi is currently working on her first Pern novel. She wants to make sure she gets is just right, so she’s not rushing it.

After that, we’ll see!

Cheers,

Todd

I fell in love with your mother’s novels the 1st time I read one, but I have to say that I enjoy yours even more. Hers were fun but yours are thought provoking. It feels like a gift when I find an author as gifted as you. Thank you.

Thank you!

I’m glad to hear that.

I once remarked to Mum, “You know, it won’t be good enough if I write as well as you do, I’ll have to write better.”

She smiled and agreed. And then said, with a huge grin, “Good luck!”

(I’m still working on it, Mum!)

Cheers,

Todd
