  • Terence David John Pratchett, OBE (born 28 April 1948) is a British fantasy, science fiction and Children's literature. He is best known for his popular and long-running Discworld series of comic fantasy novels. Pratchett's first novel, The Carpet People, was published in 1971, and since his first Discworld novel (The Colour of Magic) was published in 1983, he has written two books a year on average. Pratchett is also known for close collaboration on adaptations of his books but has held back from Discworld feature films so far. Pratchett was the UK's best-selling author of the 1990s, and as of December 2007 has sold more than 55 million books worldwide, with translations made in 33 languages. In 2001 he won the Carnegie Medal for his children's novel The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Despite his popularity, Pratchett is often described as having a ‘Cult following’ - a factor seen as having, in the past, hindered his literary recognition. Pratchett, who was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire "for services to literature" in 1998, holds the record for the most shoplifted author in Britain.

  • Terry's early days were spent in the basement of the University, learning the ways of inventing from Bergholt Stuttley "Bloody Stupid" Johnson and writing books about his travails with the wizards of the University. The first book he ever wrote published was The Colour of Magic, in which he announced his invention of the eighth colour, which only wizards could see, but definitely existed. Having invented it, it became obvious that it had been invented forever. In truth, the first he wrote was "A Treataizzze on the The best Scale For A Mappe OF Ankh Morpork", but since he a) decided that the 'best scale' would be 1:1 2 b) wanted to illustrate his thesis with an example c) somehow thought The Shades would be a good place to start he could not get a publisher to undertake the task. This failure to write a 'serious' work led him to believe that the future lay with 'exposees' of the lives of some of his colleagues.

Terry took Death's arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night. The End.
