I’ve just leanred of the passing of Sir Terry Pratchett.  I remember reading the Discworld short story in White Dwarf many moons ago and that’s what got me hooked on his books.

In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this – death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.

And now Death has claimed him.
