Oh … Now THAT’s another sad one …
Lifelong science fiction fan that I am, I’ve got to admit, I’ve read a certain amount of Anne McCaffrey, in my time.
Mostly her Dragonriders of Pern series, which had both one of the strongest female characters I know I’ve ever seen, Lessa of Bendan Weyr.
So you can imagine my saddest in hearing that Ms McCaffrey had died on Monday, just gone, at the age of 85.
That’s sad.
I know I once met fantasy writer, Storm Constantine who called Ms McCaffrey ‘inspirational’.
I’m also fairly convinced there’s who’d say the same.
All I can do … ?
Is offer my condolences to her family.
AND did up my old copy of Dragonflight …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
