THE RENEGADES OF PERN (1988)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20" X 30"

I was in a frenzied state trying to finish up jobs before the impending birth of our son when I had a dream about this cover. 1/3

DRAGONQUEST (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"

The primary menace to the planet Pern is "Thread," a corrosive and devastating alien life form which falls from the Red Star and burrows its way into the soil, destroying all life and making the soil unusable. 1/4

WEYRWORLD (1990)
Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 27" x 36"

My schedule was booked up many months in advance, so Del Rey Books commissioned me to do this cover before the book was even written. 1/5

DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"

For the first book in Anne McCaffrey's now legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial point-of-view and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. 1/4

DRAGON ABOARD (2013)
Acrylic - 18" x 24"

Anne McCaffrey often reminded readers that her Pern novels were science fiction. This scene from ALL THE WEYRS OF PERN did exactly that and was originally chosen for the cover. 1/3

THE WHITE DRAGON (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"

Although this is the third book in the series, this was my first Pern cover, and I was determined to create the dragons as faithfully to Anne McCaffrey's description as possible. 1/4

Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 30" x 20"

THE GIRL WHO HEARD DRAGONS is a collection of Anne McCaffrey’s short fantasy and science fiction, mostly published in various magazines or anthologies. 1/4
