Two days ago, I was working on a crossword puzzle, and the clue was The Writer of the Dragonriders of (something). I had no idea what the answer was.
Yesterday, the obit was on the radio, and I thought “how odd that this should happen just after seeing a clue about her”.
Your mentioning it today reminded me to pick up the magazine, and fill in that clue.
I might have to read the books at this point.
When I heard that she died, I was surprised because I could have sworn she died about 15 years ago. Now I’m trying to figure out which big time female fantasy author died back then and I had been assuming was McCaffrey all these years.
@JilltheTooth BINGO! That’s exactly who it was. I was working in a bookstore and I was on the team of people who would make special displays when an author died. So I knew someone died back then, I just couldn’t remember who.
Oh!! Good to know.
When I was younger I wanted to do an anime version of “Dragonsinger: Harper of Pern”. I guess I will have to ask her family for the rights now if it ever happens…
