Question from Helen

i have been a fan since a friend started me with The White Dragon I now own all the Pern series up to the last two. I enjoy rereading the books. I’m interested to know if you will write one on after the last fall? I’m sort of glad there hasn’t been any movies done on Pern I think that some books are better just read & not brought to life as they may disopointed. I beleave in graving because every one of any age can tell you what they look like! I also colect Dragons. & I’ll be 72yrs young on Monday.

Helen,

I pretty sure my sister and I will figure out how to write the After the Fall story. Right now Gigi is working on her first Pern book.

Well, Warner Brothers now has the rights to Pern for a movie, so we’ll see what they do. I will say that it’s almost certain that not everyone will love the movie. However, I recently read Andy Weir’s The Martian, thoroughly enjoyed it, and was delighted that the movie captured the heart and the spine of the story perfectly — so there’s proof that it can be done.

Dragons are fun to collect, provided they remain well-behaved.

And belated happy birthday!

Cheers,

Todd
