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.
