Oh my goodness. You're the guy who did the covers for the Pern series.
Magical times for me.
Thanks for your work on those and others.

unfortunately no bookseller actually WANTS to sell it (in ebook) but library or used bookstore may be options.

It’s like Valdemar if the Companions were carnivorous apex predators, or Pern if everything else in the world were telepathic & out to get you. Fantasy/scifi meets Western meets horror.

Cached UK/IE #KindleBookGiveaway: 5 copies of Dragonflight (Dragonriders of Pern Book 1) by Anne McCaffrey. Since this is a #UKKindleBookGiveaway, you MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one. This is a classic F/SF book. There are dragons! They fly! And teleport!

Tal cual. Por eso perdono a Anne McCafrey en Pern por su cuestionable representación LGBTQ+ vista desde la perspectiva actual y su reivindicación feminista que hoy se queda corta. Porque se escribió a finales de los años 70 y para esa época debió de ser muy innovadora. En obras ctuales me enfado

Early thoughts from a rough draft for a Dragonrider Jayvik AU. Except my dragonriders were of the Pern variety, not HTTYD.

I don’t know if it will ever leave my drafts, so I’m throwing it here to see if there’s interest! Mostly, though, so it doesn’t die unseen by anyone.
Viktor woke, cold.

It isn’t the normal chill of sleeping on a pallet on the floor in the undercity, though the fuel for his fire had burned out in the night. That cold soaked into his already aching bones, crept beneath thin blankets and bore the scent of pollution and chemical runoff.

Nice! Also, afaik, Pern did do the linked dragon thing 'first' (at the very least, early and loud), but I wasn't alive then so I can't verify for sure. That was certainly my impression growing up.

The Dragonriders of Pern is a classic, Ann McCaffery. Many books in the series.

When I get some time I’ll make a list for you.

The dragon riders of pern comes to mind
December 30, 2025 at 7:47 PM
Granted the last book i read was probably one of the dragonriders of pern novels so, dragonrider/breeder okay.

Watching “Brian Pern: A Life In Rock” - full of fantastic little cameo jokes & this has to be my favourite…

Pratchett's satire of the 'Dragon riders of Pern' books slapped me sideways on first reading it shortly after publication (I was a big Pern fan). But it was so *spot on* and hilarious that I forged on through the book. And now, 40 years later, Discworld is the series I return to again and again.

I get to be a dragonrider on Pern, cool!

Oy. I am NOT cut out to be a Weyrwoman, and not only for reasons of sex and gender. Everybody on Pern dies because I can't stop the plague.

I read a few series. Dragonriders of Pern, Tales of the Otori, some of the Hainish books. Ursula Le Guin was a standout for 2025. I read 6 books by her this year.

I met Robin Wood (who drew/painted The People of Pern, one of the best books of fictional portraiture ever, also many book covers) and I was in awe of her - and she told me how she got started drawing pictures of Spock at conventions to make a bit of money to buy food.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Quotes are for sure copyrighted (although for review purposes I think short ones are OK?), but I thought elucidations of really specific ideas were too, like the poses & sequence of Bikram yoga. Or Pern-style dragonriders. But those cases also famously have assiduous copyright holders!
