She Walks Softly and Rides a Big Dragon
:: Thursday, September 13, 2007

The reigning Grand Dame of Science Fiction, Anne McCaffrey is known to many as "The Dragonlady." To me, she is the permanent resident of at least two entire bookshelves crammed full of cherished (and often re-read) titles. I leapt at the chance to interview this fascinating woman who has done more in her 81 amazing years on this planet than most folks could hope to accomplish in several lifetimes.

Read the interview
HERE.
(My favorite part is what she would tell herself if she could go back in time....)

You rock, Anne!!
