winter_elfAnne McCaffrey died today and the world loses an amazing author and inspiring person. I loved the Pern books when I was a kid and still love them today, as well as a large number of Anne's other published books.
I even had the chance to meet her -TWICE- in 2006. Once here in San Diego at a signing for our local bookstore with her son Todd. I hauled as many books over to be signed as I could get my hands on hardcovers (most of mine are paperback) and also talked my friend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
