Letter from Stewart

I just had to write to you to let you know I finally got my copy of Dragonsblood (the bookshop forgot to let me know it was out — arrrgh). However I am now half way through it and WOW WHAT A STORY. Because of the way I read books I see the film in my head my visulisation of words into pictures is very good. I have never before in all the books I have ever read been close to tears over a book and I’m only half way into the book. You have written the most emotional book I have ever got my hands on. Talk about feeling each person in the story. Two words to some up this book: WELL DONE. You have made me so glad you have taken up the mantle of pern. Your first book with your mum was good. This is brilliant.
