	Terry Pratchett Thud! Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		Pratchett leaves his clues about like a man who always writes mysteries, and his subject is much more than the death of a single troublemaker.
		Pratchett keeps his mystery well hidden, but there is no deus-ex-fantasia here, just the clues, the facts and a remarkably satisfying resolution.
		Pratchett is so comfortable in his milieu that he can write what he intends to be a nicely turned complex mystery and have it resonate far beyond his intentions.

	Profile \| Terry Pratchett
		My introduction to Terry Pratchett startles me. I had expected this author of over thirty popular fantasy books to be somehow larger than life.
		Pratchett regularly holds the top slots in both the paperback and hard cover lists in Great Britain where his sales rank him alongside the likes of Catherine Cookson and Frederick Forsyth.
		Pratchett tells me that the six children's books he's written -- all published by Doubleday and Corgi -- were done to gain legitimacy as a writer.

		Terry Pratchett started out his career as a fantasy fan, and eventually moved into writing and gaining his own fans on a global basis.
		Pratchett: It'll be published in the U.K. and the U.S. in early October, and it's planned that I tour in both countries.
		Pratchett: With Neil it was a genuine collaboration, and we were having such a great time doing it we didn't care much about the mechanics of it beyond the problem, in those pre-Net days, of making sure we both had up-to-date copies of the text.

		Terry Pratchett: As far as I can tell from experience with mail and on signing tours, there is a fair proportion of younger people among my readership.
		Terry Pratchett: What's a book "about?" On one level I could say The Fifth Elephant is about a crime; it's about dwarfs; it's about international diplomacy; it's about how integrity makes poor body armor.
		Terry Pratchett: No. It's me. What you see is what you get.

	BBC NEWS \| Programmes \| Breakfast \| Terry Pratchett
		Terry Pratchett was live on Breakfast, this morning.
		Pratchett says he hopes the books are generally written to be accessible at any point.
		The bizarre plots and colourful characters ensure that Pratchett's books appeal to a broad readership but the bulk of his fans, are surprisingly not teenage boys obsessed with computer games, but university educated women over the age of 25.

	Terry Pratchett
		Terry Pratchett was born in Beaconsfield, England, and he credits most of his education to the Beaconsfield Public Library.
		Pratchett notes that when it was time to move on to secondary school, in 1959, he selected High Wycombe Technical High School because he felt "woodwork would be more fun than Latin".
		Esteem for Pratchett's work is reflected both in the popularity of his current work and in the value attached to old editions of his books (some fetching as much as £2000) -- as well as in the quantity of metafiction about him and his creations.

	Terry Pratchett
		Terry Pratchett was born in 1948 in Beaconsfield, Bucks, and decided to become a journalist after his first short story, 'The Hades Business', was published in Science Fantasy magazine when he was fifteen years old.

		Pratchett has faith in words but he is also acutely aware of the independence of their existence.

		I had the fortunate opportunity to interview Terry Pratchett on a cold January night as he was finishing his latest novel while battling with the joys of freeware and the scumware advertising it entails.
		Pratchett: 'Mort' was hanging about because a guy I know as a friend has got the rights, and he has got some integrity too.
		Pratchett: No! Since I started, there have been four 'Next' Terry Pratchetts, which isn't the fault of the authors who were publicised as the new 'me'.

	Terry Pratchett Downunder (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Pratchett is obviously delighted to have won the Carnegie Medal since there had been numerous references in the past to his having been snubbed by the literary establishment.
		Pratchett said, "It's just unfortunate that the current international situation is the pretty much the same old, dull international situation in a new mask, in a world obsessed by the monsters it has made up, and dragons that are hard to kill".
		Pratchett, like Ursula Le Guin and Diana Wynne-Jones, has been coming down the "fiction pipe" a long time, well before JK Rowling achieved her success with Harry Potter and supplanted Pratchett in the UK sales totals, just as Pratchett had supplanted Archer.

	Going Postal, Night Watch by Terry Pratchett - reviews
		Sometimes, the richest moments are when Pratchett uses his satiric wit to poke fun at perceived gender roles, even as Polly's attempts to be a good man endear the reader to her.
		Pratchett has a way of dealing with all aspects of his story in realistic ways, even as he pokes fun at it...the army life feels about right.
		The point is, what Terry Pratchett does with the ideas of time, the elasticity of it, is a very different theory from the "If you step on a butterfly you may disappear because you've just killed your father and now will never be born" type of time planning.

	Terry Pratchett - A Biography
		The Light Fantastic was published in 1986, by which time it had become obvious to Terry and myself that if he was to maximise his potential, then he had to move to a major publishing house, as my company was incapable of coping with bestsellers, and that this should be done while we were friends.
		The Pratchett Portfolio of Paul Kidby's illustrations of Discworld denizens, with accompanying text by Terry, was published in September and November saw the publication of Hogfather, the paperback edition of Maskerade, and the release by Psygnosis of Perfect Entertainment's game, Discworld II: Missing, Presumed....
		Terry has also be working closely with Perfect Entertainment on the third computer game, this one in 3-D, called Discworld Noir, for release, I think, in May 1999.

	Amazon.com: The Truth: Books: Terry Pratchett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Terry Pratchett has a marvelous habit of taking devices or institutions that have developed over time in our word and subjecting them to the literary equivalent of time-lapse photography when he imports them into Discworld.
		Following close on the heals of "The Fifth Elephant," Terry Pratchett has again turned in an equally outstanding performance with "The Truth." Parodying and poking fun at everything from the homeless to the patrician rich, enterprise, technology, the law and the fifth estate---the news and the olds---Pratchett is nothing if not an equal opportunity satirist.
		Pratchett here turns a critical eye towards bigotry, as well as the temporal and largely relative nature found in the use of words and their extension as truth.

		Pratchett has written a very skillful parody of the Phantom of the Opera, and it leaves you giggling the whole way through.
		Pratchett has an outstanding capacity to research a topic, then present his findings with peerless clarity and wit.
		Pratchett seems to me to focus very well on a particular kind of fantasy and he doesn’t fall into the trap of mixing genres.
