Dragonriders of Pern

Dragonscliff: another reason for my blog name is the series 'The Dragonriders of Pern' by Anne McCaffrey. I was hooked from the first Pern book & have endeavoured to find each & every one of around 18 novels. This is a link to the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonriders_of_Pern Todd McCaffrey, Anne's son, now co-writes with Anne on some novels & sole authors others, playing within & expanding on the world of Pern with which he must have grown up. The series is ongoing with future novels in the pipeline. Also Anne McCaffrey's best-selling and long-running sci-fi/fantasy series "The Dragonriders of Pern" is getting the big-screen treatment via Canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment". This was announced in 2006, what has happened since then I don't know.

Anne McCaffery "lives in a house of her own design, Dragonhold-Underhill (because she had to dig out a hill on her farm to build it) in Wicklow County, Ireland." The name 'Dragonhold' sparked my imagination & I combined it with my 'fanship' for Cliff Richard. The weyrs of Pern are built on, around & inside cliffs to facilitate living with flying dragons. So 'Dragonscliff' became a name I could relate to on several levels.
