Recent news about Terry Monday, February 27th, 2023 The Terry Pratchett estate announces the publication of A Stroke of the Pen, a new collection of Pratchett’s early short stories for newspapers from the 1970s and 1980s. These twenty stories were written under pseudonyms (mostly “Patrick Kearns”) and have not been previously republished. They were discovered thanks to fan Chris Lawrence, who had one of the original newspaper stories framed in his house, with the rest discovered by Pat and Jan Harkin by searching through old newspapers. Rob Wilkins described this as “nothing short of a miracle” and said this was “the last ’new’ Pratchett material we are ever likely to find.” (terrypratchett.com; BBC) Friday, October 7th, 2022 At New York Comic Con, season two of Good Omens was announced as having a "Summer 2023" release.
