I will treasure her wonderful stories and my kids have enjoyed them just as much.

Menolly and Killashandra were my favourite characters ... a good friend even named her faughter after one of Anne's characters.

So much fine reading.

I am lucky to have met her and she autographed a couple of my books too.

She was a wonderful person ...




“The tears I feel today
I'll wait to shed tomorrow.
Though I'll not sleep this night
Nor find surcease from sorrow.
My eyes must keep their sight:
I dare not be tear-blinded.
I must be free to talk
Not choked with grief, clear-minded.
My mouth cannot betray
The anguish that I know.
Yes, I'll keep my tears til later:
But my grief will never go.”
― Anne McCaffrey, Dragonsinger

RIP High Queen of Fantasy ... may your dragons guard you in the afterlife !!
