She died yesterday of a stroke at 85.  Embarrassed
Not many writers blended fantasy and science as well as she did.

I hadn't realized she was that old.  I hope she knew how much her readers loved her!

The name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've read anything she wrote ... Smiley
  

Yeah, I'm a smutty-minded perv - what of it?

She wrote the Dragons of Pern series, among a lot of other things.

Crystal singer, The Spaceship that Sang, The Dragon Riders, The White Dranon, etc And my Fave The Master Harper.  Robinson was my fave character when he died in her story I gave up reading her stories from that age onward. Pass ages was OK.
