Letter from Cheryl

Todd McCaffrey,

I am reading Dragonsblood right now, started yesterday, and I’m on page 303.

I love this story, and you’ve done your mother’s world justice. I love all the Pern stories I’ve read so far, though not in order that they’re supposed to be in, but the order that I’m able to get a hold of them.

I first started reading these stories, when I came accross A Gift of Dragons. The stories were so compelling that I was hooked.

I must say that Dragon’s Kin was particularly touching. It was because I enjoyed a story which you had co-written with your mother, that I decided to read one you had written yourself.

I have not been disappointed.

I want to someday be a writer of fantasy novels with dragons, myself. So you could say that I idolize you and Anne.

I hope to see many more Pern novels from you.

Thank you, Cheryl!

I’ll warn you that writing about dragons may become a more difficult proposition because so many people have thought about it (Naomi Novik’s “His Majesty’s Dragon” being a very popular example).

Mum and I have a new collaboration, Dragon Harper, coming out this December (in the US, January in the UK) which tells more of Kindan’s life (and, of course, you meet him in Dragonsblood).

Cheers,
Todd
