A quick note on his announcement, he very strongly indicates that, like
Granny Weatherwax, he ain't ded. He expects at this point to be able to
complete everything he's already committed for and more.

"Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful - I think
there's time for at least a few more books yet"

Here's a direct link to his letter which was posted on Paul Kidby's site

(hmm, I see he's posted a follow-up since I read it last night. He still
ain't ded)

Darn depressing news.

Death, as Pratchett points out, does happen to everyone. But it is vexing
when it happens to someone you like! Even more vexing when it is
Death-of-the-Mind, without an accompanying Death-of-theRestOfYou.

(BTW, anyone look at the t-shirts on Kirby's site? Someone should send the
Elf a link to: http://www.paulkidby.com/tshirts/maycontainnuts-1.htm --
good gift for the Ogre, yes? Hopefully said Ogre skips reading this post...)
