Terry Pratchett wasn't a keen reader during his early childhood, but his life changed at the age of 10 when someone gave him a copy of Wind in the Willows He had his first novel, The Carpet People , published when he was only 23 and continued to write in his spare time whilst working on local newspapers. In his thirties he began to worry about his future and leaving journalism behind, he spent the next 8 years as a press officer for the Central Electricity Generating Board. When his fourth book The Colour of Magic became successful in Corgi paperback, he realised that writing was his future, and in 1987 he gave up his job and began writing full time. Where Terry goes, his word processor goes too - which is just as well as he undertakes huge and regular signing tours, with readers turning up in their hundreds to each event. He believes that everyone is capable of writing. Perhaps this is why everyone is capable of reading his works... He is known to interest even the most apathetic readers, and confidently ignores the marketing gulf fixed between children and adults. Terry and his wife live in Wiltshire. Terry's interests include geology, astronomy, growing carnivorous plants, keeping tortoises and trying to make computers do things they were never intended to do.

Terry Pratchett - Libertarian Find out YOUR T erry Pratchett's best-selling Discworld series is famous for its laugh-out-loud humor, wide-ranging satire, and surreal setting. (The books take place on a disc-shaped world which is supported on the backs of four giant elephants, which stand atop an enormous turtle swimming through space.) The novels are also conspicuous for their libertarian sensibilities; Pratchett sprinkles them with wry potshots at government, taxes, and politicians. Some examples: : "Trickery is what humans are all about... They're so keen on tricking one another all the time that they elect governments to do it for them." The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents "Genua had once controlled the river mouth and taxed its traffic in a way that couldn't be called piracy because it was done by the city government." Witches Abroad "Confiscate all weapons, and crime would go down. It made sense. The flaw though...was this: criminals don't obey the law. It's more or less a requirement for the job. They had no particular interest in making the streets safer for anyone except themselves."

Photo by Robin Mathews 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 36 books in the Discworld series, of which four (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 was reissued in hardcover by William Morrow in early 2006 (it is also available as a mass market paperback (Harper Torch, 2006) and trade paperback (Harper Paperbacks, 2006). Terry's latest book, Making Money , was published in September 2007 and was an instant New York Times and London Times bestseller.

Terry Pratchett lives in Somerset, England, where he spends all his time, and more, writing his rigorously naturalistic, curiously entertaining, shamelessly popular Discworld novels which have earned him extravagant acclaim and puzzled stares from millions of readers around the world. He brings a love of the absurd to virtually everything he writes. Or so it seems. Most folk who discover one of his Discworld books rush back to gorge themselves, buying up a stack of them. Each seems to have a favourite character, most are eager to share a passage they found particularly memorable. Gentle enthusiasm bursts from pores when they hear that another is on its way.
