I absolutely love Anne McCaffrey's writing. She was such a prolific writer- I feel like I grew up reading and re-reading her books.
Anyone else a fan?

I'm not familiar with her works. Can you mention some of the titles of her books? I'll check them out at Amazon. What type of writing does she do? Thanks, Alee.

Oh Marly- I hope you like them! She has a great way of making "real" characters. All of her characters- even her most heroic ones had character flaws and in one of the books the protagonist is actually pretty shallow and self-centered for most of the books. But even still- she makes you see their inner self and the character progression is great! She truly was a master. I am so sad that she passed away.
