I just read on Neil Gaiman’s site that Terry Pratchett, one of my all time favourite writers has been diagnosed with Alzheimer.
I would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but because of upcoming conventions and of course the need to keep my publishers informed, it seems to me unfair to withhold the news. I have been diagnosed with a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s, which lay behind this year’s phantom “stroke”.

I hope everything will turn out better, although Alzheimer’s is not a thing that disappears like the flu.
On the bright side he is optimistic, and that’s always good.
Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there’s time for at least a few more books yet :o)
The best wishes for him.
