Thought this was a few years ago (2011). One of my favorite science fiction writers. Read and re-read the first dragonriders series.

You're not even the first to post belatedly about it cartman

Much Belated RIP: Anne Mccaffrey - Front Office Football Central

I'm reading Acorna for the first time this week in tribute to her as she is my favorite author. Sadly not enjoying it as much as her other works.

I read the books after playing the game on the C64.

Dragonriders of Pern (video game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

That was a great game, loved fighting thread on it and the diplomacy with the holds/weyrs/guilds.
