Terry Pratchett has a stroke?!

[thewayne]

Fortunately a minor one and not terribly problematic, but it puts him at greatly increased risk of a serious one. And he has a new book out.

Thanks for the news, Weirdo!

Oh, he's quite nice. The first time I met him, I was sixteen and my mom grabbed him on the convention floor, pushed him over next to me, and said, "May I take a picture?" PTerry puts his arm around my shoulders and replies, "Of course you may take a picture, me and my dear friend... what was your name again?"

I met him again at ConJose, nine years later, and my mom tells him about the first picture, and he says, "You must have been very short." I said no, I was already that tall... and since I'd been hit on by a teenager earlier that day (in front of my husband, yet!) I spent much of the rest of the con wondering how old I looked...
