Anne's son Todd has started adding to the Pern stories. I'm reading his new one, Dragonsblood, at the moment.

What do you think of his writing, compared to Anne's? I was a huge fan of the original stuff, though I've been a bit slow to keep up with the later books. Is he carrying on in the same style? Is it still heavy on the fantasy side of the genre? or has he pulled even further to the sci-fi side of things?

Todd has managed to stay pretty close to his mothers vision. He's picking up where she left off in the maturation of the Pernese society bearing in mind Anne started with a society that was almost medieval and has advanced and matured slowly through the series. Tos is as good a storyteller as his mother. You'll notice style differences, as there will be between two different authors, but overall their styles dovetail nicely.
