The Passing of the Golden Queen of Pern

[riverbella]

I just learned that Anne McCaffrey has died, or perhaps just gone between for the last time. I "met" her dragons when I was fourteen and fell madly in love. Those books, and many others of her crafting, gave me hours of joy and tears and escape--along with a great desire for a dragon, or at least a fire lizard, of my own. She has certainly left a magnificent legacy and I will always be grateful that I stumbled across that first dragonrider book and went along for a wonderful journey.

Safe flight, my lady.
