Publisher's Synopsis
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 this new format, my first decision was to stick with the material as presented. With few exceptions, there have been no changes.
I have taken advantage of the ability to mix images and text more readily -- while doing so, I placed greater emphasis on text than on image.
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:
