^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Resurgence of Dinosaurs ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Writes Judy-Lynn del Rey in BEYOND, the Del Rey Books newsletter--

"Anne McCaffrey flew into town this week....  She was shlepping the
manuscript for DINOSAUR PLANET SURVIVORS.  At the end of 1984 we will
find out at last what happens to our intrepid heroes who, when last
seen, were hiding in cold storage from the heavyworlders.  So you can
stop writing and asking about the sequel to DINOSAUR PLANET... the
book is on its way."

>And McCaffrey isn't an Irish name, is it?  Sounds more scottish. I

Yes, it is Irish and yes, it sound Scottish.  The Scottish spelling would
be MacCaffrey.  Irish names aren't just O'somethings (like mine used to
be - O'Dale), but are also McSomething, as well as just Something.

It is confusing.  When I was tracing my roots, I got confused all right --
my middle name is as Scottish as they come and my great-grandfather was
an original O'Dale from Ireland.  I could always use MacRae O'Dale as a
pen name, for shock value...
