Sir Terry Pratchett, fantasy author and creator of the Discworld series, has died aged 66, eight years after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. "The world has lost one of its brightest, sharpest minds," said Larry Finlay of his publishers Transworld.
The author died at home, surrounded by his family, "with his cat sleeping on his bed", he added.
Sir Terry wrote more than 70 books during his career and completed his final book last summer.
I was privileged to have met Sir Terry back in 2003, before he was knighted, and before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
A friend of my son introduced me to Sir Terry's work, and it was a joy to read. I eagerly await the last book.
RIP, Sir Terry, and may you be reborn as a Monk of Cool.
