I'm reading the #TerryPratchett biography and #RobWilkins just recounted the time Terry irately walked into a bookstore for a signing, looked at the manager, said:

"Get me a gin and tonic or I will kill you"

And had the drink in hand in 90 seconds.

That's the fuckin energy I want for 2026

On this day, 10 years ago, Rob Wilkins posted this series of heartbreaking tweets, shortly after Terry Pratchett died (way too early):

AT LAST, SIR TERRY, WE MUST WALK TOGETHER.

Terry took Death’s arm and followed him through the doors and on to the black desert under the endless night.

The End.

Fair to say I rather liked it, and I've already started my first read of Dark Side of the Sun despite owning it since the 1980's

The biography of Terry Pratchett by his long-time assistant Rob Wilkins, "A Life in Footnotes", is 99p today at Amazon and Kobo.

It's interesting, surprising, funny, affecting, sad and extremely good

[Edit: apparently it's #TerryPratchettDay today, which explains the timing.]

I'm totally biased, completely subjective, and of course utterly partial. The emotions rose up for the final few chapters, so no surprises when I say that this is a warmly told, caring, big-duvet-on-a-rainy-day type of an autobiography. 🥹

Well told and well done Rob.

I really enjoyed this interview with Rob and Neil! A lot of love in that room.
