As many of you know, Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Click here to read the speech Terry made to the Alzheimer's Research Trust Conference in the UK earlier this year, where he donated $1 million to aid Alzheimer's research. See the video of the speech here.
If you are interested in helping out, The Alzheimer's Research Trust UK accepts overseas donations here. Or If you would like to make a tax-free donation to the Alzheimer's Association (of America) click here.
From Terry
Welcome to the Discworld. It started out as a parody of all the fantasy that was around in the big boom of the early '80s, then turned into a satire on just about everything, and even I don't know what it is now. I do know that in that time there's been at least four people promoted as "new Terry Pratchetts" so for all I know I may not even still be me.
And welcome to this spanking new page that those nice people at HarperCollins, at great expense, wear and tear on keyboards, etc., have produced. Wow! There may even be bits that flash on and off! At the very least, you should thank them by buying their books!
On Discworld semaphore communication is still the fastest thing around (if you're not a wizard) and that makes the modems run very slowly.
And now . . . have fun . . . |
