Welcome to the disc world !!
Today I just want to do a overview of a well know comic fantasy author.
Picture from wiki
Born on the 28 April 1948 as Terence David John Pratchett in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, England.
He passed away at a young age of 66 on the 12 March 2015. A very sad day for fans all over the world even worlds not on the back of a turtle.
He was a journalist but took up novel writing (Comic fantasy mostly)early in his career.
His most notable books is the Discworld novels based on a world on the back of a turtle that travels through space.
This amazing man has a real twisted sense of the world but needs the nail on the head.When he past away all unfinished work was put out in the road and steamrolled over. Sadly there will be no late work completed.
This is it folks.Read reread and enjoy.
