I just had a vision - which someone with more talent then i needs to draw - of Death standing by a bedside, clutching an autograph book and pen, muttering embarrassedly "...IT'S NOT FOR ME ... UMMM ... IT'S FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER ..."

To be somewhat British in my response to this news...

Sadly, it's now possible to own copies of all Sir Terry's books now. I will greatly miss the excitement of cracking open a new Discworld book.

But perhaps there's at least one more in the pipe.

Wish i was still in regular communication with the New York SF editors i know.

He had just finished one up last year. Apparently his daughter has stated she's going to take up the mantle.

One was published last year - Raising Steam, the third Moist von Lipwig book.

Petition to Reinstate Sir PTerry

From the article:
"The author's 41st and final Discworld novel, The Shepherd's Crown, was completed last summer and it is due to be published later this year."
