I first started reading Anne's books at age 12, I'm now 45! This is a series that I've read 11 times myself. All this authors stories are just amazing. They draw you right in, making you love the characters and live along with them through the twists and turn of such a well written series. I've always wished for a fourth book too tell the truth. Anne is now lost to us as her life has ended but forever she lives on in the stories she has written and the heart and minds of her readers. I was so blessed at 13 to write my first of many letters to Anne and get a reply which I never expected. She saw right away a young girl in love with reading and greatly encouraged me to keep reading and also writing my own poor stories just for the love of it. I have read every story she has ever written and have never once been disappointed. I hope you read this series and others she wrote in her life time and find the joy I have. Her son Todd McCaffrey has even taken up her Dragonriders of Pern series which he started to co write before her passing and does an excellent job which I know his mom is looking down on glowing with pride! This world is a sadder place with less joy of stories now she has passed. I found her to be such a kind and generous person through the letters I received as a kid I mourned greatly when she had to leave us all. So please join me in honoring her by reading her stories and holding them in your heart. Thanks so much! Heather
