Author Terry Pratchett, 59, best known for his gargantuan Disc World Series, announced December 11th via artist Paul Kirby's website that he has, "been diagnosed with a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's, which lay behind this year's phantom 'stroke'."
According to Pratchett, he is "continuing on the completion of Nation and the basic notes are already being laid down for Unseen Academicals."
Also, he would like everyone to note that he "is not dead." He states, "I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. For me, this maybe further off than you think - it's too soon to tell."
The following day, December 12th, a post by Mr. Pratchett was yet again added to the site. This time, he implores fans to stop sending him plot ideas, for he has plenty of his own. Also, he states that he is not going to be granting interviews, because he said what needed to be said in the December 11th post.
