For those who do not know, Anne McCaffrey died of a stroke November 21st she was 85 years old. She was responsable for a lot of firsts in Science Fiction and Writing, she was the First women to win a Hugo and a Nebula, she was the first writer to write strong female lead characters..
She is also one of the first scifi writers i can remember reading other than mr Azmonov.. with the books ‘The Ship that Sang’ and of course her most famous, the Dragon Riders of Pern.
Her books inspired a lot of people from all walks of life including some of the bigger named directors out there, we can only hope that they continue to do so.
While Anne has past, Pern lives on her middle son has already written in it along with his mother in both duel and solo form and she stated that she would let three people in total write in her pern universe, two of her children and her grand daughter.
So rest in peace Dragon Lady of Pern, may your books continue to inspire and may you find rest in the Great Beyond and Between.
