close About Me
- Me, Myself, and I
- Creator of THE HOGFATHER and Discworld novels, Terry Pratchett is one of the funniest and most popular authors writing today.
Terry sold his first short story at the tender age of 13 and bought a typewriter with the money. His first novel, THE CARPET PEOPLE, was published when he was 23. In 1983 THE COLOUR OF MAGIC, the first Discworld novel, was published and the rest, as they say, is history.
He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels like he's trying to lead three already.' He is passionate about orangutans but doesn't give a monkey's about anything else.
He was awarded an OBE in 1998 and has sold more than 45 million books worldwide. His books have been translated into 27 languages.

You're lucky Jordy K , so many of my books have "walked" that i don't lend them any more- "Oh, it was so good that I lent it to X", "No, he/she didn't lend it to me, might've been Y", etc. And it's VERY hard to pick up a halfway decent copy in the secondhand shops.

Hey Terry,
Just wanted to say that your books have almost become part of the family! (Although unlike the UU books we don't have to worry about keeping them chained)
Anyways, thanks heaps

Thank you for adding me! I'm a big fan!
But I would also like to take this moment to tell any other fans who attend Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland, that there is a club dedicated to worshipping this amazing man. On a Thursday. 5pm till 7pm. Presuming it doesn't get cancelled for the umpteenth time.
Check out this Bebo page for more info and other general madness. -

Hello
Just a note to tell you how much I admire you - HUGE FAN.
You books mean so much and have done so much for some many folk - I know because I'm one of them.
When ever I've been low - they pick me up.
As a dedicated fan and admirer have love from me to you and your wife and daughter.
If anyone can raise enough awareness to find preventative treatments and eventually a way beat this illness it's you.
Anyway - enough telling you stuff you already know - when's the next book comming - Just Getting my teeth into Nation and LOVING IT!!!!
I think Death will be scared of you Terry, you know more about him than he does about you. He's someone we all must meet, but I hope it's a long time before your ink stained and his bony hand are warily extended to shake in grudging admiration of jobs exceptionally well done by you both.
