Mediabistro is reporting that Anne McCaffrey, beloved author of the Dragonriders of Pern series, has passed away at the tender age of 85. Wired picked up on the report and posted their thoughts here.
This is indeed sad news. McCaffrey’s impact on the genre is irrefutable. She was, and remains, one of the greats.
Our hearts go out to Anne’s family (her son Todd and the many others who were fortunate to know her personally). May they find some joy in knowing Anne McCaffrey will never be forgotten.
What will you all remember best about the McCaffrey legacy?
