Foreword
Dragonholder was first published by Del Rey books in 1999. It was supposed to be a sort of “scrapbook” of Anne McCaffrey’s life.
The biggest complaint levelled against the book was: “It reads like a scrapbook.” To which I say, “Mission Accomplished.”
In undertaking to publish Dragonholder in electronic format, my first decision was to stick with the material as presented. With few exceptions, there have been no changes.
Twelve years is a long time. A lot has changed since then. There are still more stories, still more “Life and Dreams” to be told about Anne McCaffrey — but those stories, those “life and dreams” shall wait for another book and another day.
For those who can’t wait, here are some websites that might be of interest:
