Letter from lindsay
Dear Todd,
I recently got married this last summer and to escape the stress for family and planning I started reading the Pern series. After 9 months I’m proud to say that I’ve reached the “last” book, Dragonholder. It’s been a wonderful journey and may I say your contributions to the world of dragons is thrilling! You’re breathing new life into the world your mom began for me.
I do have one question, though, regarding Dragonsblood. I understand how timing back 3 Turns to High Reaches would have made Tullea irritable, but if the Benden healer traveled back with her why wasn’t his character nasty like she? Did I miss something…?
Thanks for your time, I look forward to the new book,
lindsay
Dear Lindsay,
Congratulations! I hope your wedding was wonderful and that marriage is everything you hoped for.
You do have me curious, as Dragonholder isn’t so much a Pern book as a book about how Pern came to be.
As for your question, timing it affects those who have dragons, not those who don’t. This will be examined and partly explained more in the book I just turned in to my editor. Oh, and I think that was a great question!
Cheers,
Todd
