    Oops. Maybe he forgot to blur some of it?

    What a pity Lydia's boys are growing up to be like their dad. Maybe her walking out will give them all pause for thought.
  3. What a fitting ending. An angel and a Christmas miracle. Thank you for posting these stories.

    Heartwarming and full of Christmas spirit.

    Chapter 1

    Craig woke at five thirty, long before the first glimmer of dawn on a December morning. The remnants of an anxiety dream niggled at him. He’d been back working for Crest again, driving round from cinema to cinema as calls from the Operations Centre came in over the hands free, informing him of more broken down equipment he needed to fix. No matter how hard he tried, he knew there was no way he could hope to reach all of the sites and complete the work in time. He still had those dreams now
  6. Craig and James will be spending their first Christmas in the farm cottage, along with James's sister Briony and her new boyfriend. But despite James's efforts to make it a perfect Christmas break, things begin to go wrong. A sequel to Travelling On.

    Chapter 1

    The pressure not to be alone at Christmas is immense. I enjoy eating Christmas dinner with others, but the best part of Christmas, for me, is the walk I always take on Christmas morning, when everyone is shut in their houses and the village is totally quiet. Being alone means you can eat what (and when) you want, spend half the day writing and not have to worry about anyone else. Thanks for writing this.
  8. And the same to you. I'm writing at a rate of knots right now to get a Christmas story finished in time!
  9. That's it, in a nutshell. Although N'rax kept the secret, Zalna is now tied in to it. She and T'san are trying to make plans to defend Pern when Thread returns, assuming the Interval will be just two hundred Turns.
  10. The Turn’s End festivities were almost over. Everyone was stuffed with good food, exhausted from dancing and merry on wine and ale. Zalna looked over the tables, happy all of her weyrfolk had enjoyed themselves. That was the big difference this Turn. She was now the Benden Weyrwoman and T’san its Weyrleader. Morna had retired to Ista with N’rax permanently, although they’d been living there during the colder months for the past two Turns. What a flight it had been! It wasn’t the first time
  11. This was lovely. It's been such a surprise each day seeing how the various authors manage to follow the song so creatively.

    The Question Song

    The timeline I use says the ninth pass begins 2508 years after Landing. There are adjustments made later by AIVAS but since I haven’t got up to the re-discovery of Landing and all the technology, I've used the old timeline.
  13. That was unexpectedly magical.

    The Question Song

    Have you been sneaking a peek at my chapter outlines?😀

    The Question Song

    There are a few of the songs set to music on YouTube. Here's one version: The Question Song.
  16. Made me hoot. Or should that be cackle? Geese can be aggressive creatures.

    Alan's story

    A story of a life full of regrets, with a lovely, upbeat ending.

    Chapter 4

    They're getting famous. What is their mom going to say if people start recognising them at the amusement park? Although I get the feeling she might suspect something anyway.

    Chapter 3

    Hopefully, my husband! Might get him to try some different flavours that way😉

    Chapter 3

    What a way to test out ice cream flavours. I’m definitely going to try that one at home! Need to have some now to cool down!

    Chapter 2

    I’m definitely going to try the soup and I didn't even see the video! Lovely development of the relationship.

    The Question Song

    She's not expert enough for that. Plus she has her duties at the Weyr to get on with. It's mentioned in Dragonflight that the tapestry probably took Turns to make and was the work of masters.

    The Question Song

    In Dragonflight the Masterharper meets Lessa, who tells him he must write the Question Song (although she leaves the wording to him), so he knows she has come from the future. N'rax, as Weyrleader of Benden, attends all of the meetings with Lessa and the other Weyrleaders, so he too knows all the details. Apart from these two, everyone else who is in on it goes forward. There are plenty of questions and the speculation will always be there, but after a year with no answers, most people are moving on with their lives. They've been used to losing people in Threadfall, so this is just another loss to bear, albeit on a much larger scale.

    The Question Song

    They always seem so obvious once someone has solved them.
  25. Just over a Turn had gone by since the Disappearance. Many trips had been made to the empty Weyrs to recover anything portable the vanished weyrfolk hadn’t already taken. As N’rax had forecast, the truth had come out fairly quickly; a regular tithe train found Fort Weyr deserted and news had spread fast. He’d been called to several meetings with Craftmasters and Lord Holders, panicked at the loss of their protectors. Gradually, though, the fear had diminished. Thread no longer threatened Pern. M
