“The Hat”

 

I just had a reader tell me I “bear a striking resemblance to Terry Pratchett.”

Such flattery!

If you aren’t aware of him, he’s an English fantasy author that has been one of my favorite authors for many years.  I love it every time someone compares me to him.

But I should tell you, wearing a hat like this isn’t easy…

My main character, Bernie, seems to be confused.  He thinks my authority resides in my hat.  Maybe when he has a little more experience with earth culture, he’ll figure it out…

I will say one thing, though.  I suspect Terry and I were inspired by someone else who made the hat famous.  I never loved hats before I saw him in one…


Sadly, Terry Pratchett passed away a couple of years ago.  I had a fantasy that one day I would send him a copy of my book, but I never had the chance to do so.
