| THIS IS A FAN PAGE, I AM NOT THE REAL TERRY PRATCHETT. Sources Terry Pratchett Books Terry Pratchett on Wikipedia Discworld MUD Discworld Compendium Terry Pratchett lives in Wiltshire and writes books-usually about the Discworld, which he is quite sure is not a real place. He's glad that people like them. Sometimes he goes for walks, and finds time for a certain amount of quiet fun. Life is pretty full really. Terry Pratchett sold his first story when he was thirteen, which earned him enough money to buy a second-hand typewriter. His first novel, a humorous fantasy entitled The Carpet People, appeared in 1971 from the publisher Colin Smythe. Terry worked for many years as a journalist and press officer, writing in his spare time and publishing a number of novels, including his first Discworld novel, The Color of Magic, in 1983. In 1987 he turned to writing full time, and has not looked back since. To date there are a total of 33 books in the Discworld series, of which three (so far) are written for children. The first of these, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, won the Carnegie Medal. A non-Discworld book, Good Omens, his 1990 collaboration with Neil Gaiman, has been a longtime bestseller, and will be reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006. His new Discworld novel, Thud!, is now available. Regarded as one of the most significant contemporary English-language satirists, Pratchett has won numerous literary awards, was named an Officer of the British Empire “for services to literature” in 1998, and has received four honorary doctorates from the Universities of Warwick, Portsmouth, Bath, and Bristol. His acclaimed novels have sold 40 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 33 languages. Terry Pratchett lives in England with his family, and spends too much time at his word processor.
