Update 46: Good Omens Graphic Novel: additional update · Good Omens: the Official (and Ineffable) Graphic Novel Hello from Good Omens HQ – you may have noticed the name change on this account – we’re now dedicated solely to Good Omens. This change won’t impact your pledge or rewards, but will streamline backer ...

Update: We have made the decision to push the Good Omens HQ store launch into early 2026. Full information:

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

We went to lunch with her again this June. Even though we had been before, it felt like both a first and a final visit. Everything was said. My dog (invited) was cuddled. We had a group photo with the giant smiling cut-out of Alex Hassall, who plays her hero Rupert Campbell-Black in the brilliant Disney+ series Rivals. Jilly understood how much we loved and admired her. I dedicated one of my books to her, for her bold and still-unmatched generosity in giving her own infertility story to her lead characters. She was brave, bold and unparalleled – and oh, how she was loved.

By me for the Tel: Five books if you’ve been under a rock and never encountered Jilly Cooper before (such deliciousness in store for you) - and a bit on how she was loved. www.telegraph.co.uk/books/author...

GNU Jilly Cooper. Jilly and dad were friends and the only person I’ve known to call him ‘Tel’. Hope they’re both having a big drink somewhere.

It’s been ten years since the publication of The Shepherd’s Crown, the last book Terry Pratchett completed before he died. Once the spine on this one was cracked, there were no more new Pratchetts to look forward to, and I know a lot of Discworld readers who were, understandably, with that sad reality in mind, reluctant to finish - or even start - this one because it felt like the final closing of a door. But I also know that Terry wanted his books to be read and enjoyed far more than he wanted them kept on a shelf. And as time passes it becomes ever more apparent how much the Discworld books reward re-visiting, perpetually revealing something new, literary gems Terry had hidden away for a second or third, or even more, re-read. Every Pratchett is to some degree an unread Pratchett, including the ones you’ve already enjoyed and including The Shepherd’s Crown. So the greatest way to honour Terry’s legacy is to pull that book you’ve been saving off the shelf, make a nice cup of tea and settle down to read the story he wrote for you. Enjoy. Rob Wilkins Wiltshire, August 2025

On 27th August 2015, The Shepherd's Crown, the last book Sir Terry Pratchett completed before he died, was published.

To mark the ten year anniversary, we have a message from Rob Wilkins:

A lot of people got their Good Omens GN's today, your kind comments are making me very happy and relieved.

A smiling woman holding a copy of the book 'Rani Reports on the Tropical Island Treasure'. It has a blue cover featuring an illustrated photo of a long haired south asian girl wearing shorts and tshirt as she digs in front of a pyramid flanked with palm trees. There is also a small picure of a dodo bird.

Book dedication page, reading 'For Nani - Deotee Fowdar.

A book page featuring an illustration of a Holi celebration in a mauritian palm tree-lined street. People are smiling and throwing coloured powder over each other, though the illustration is black and white. the text on the page reads '"Happy Holi!" I called out as Vee and I threw purple and yellow powder over Mum and Dad, while Nani enthusiastically covered Brent in red as he fumbled with his own bag of coloured powder. "This way," said Vee, darting after Kish as Mum and Dad sent sprays of orange and blue our way.'

A bookpage featuring Mauritian sega dancers holding their wide floral skirts as they dance and spin. Rani is dancing next to Nani who is tapping a large round, flat drum - a ravanne. Both are smiling and wearing long floral skirts. the text reads 'began to spin, skirts whirling at waist height as they whooped and swirled. I felt my feet tapping and watched Nani as she sang, her fingers flying over the ravanne. She caught my eye and winked. In the final part of the performance, the musicians played more modern Creole songs, and the dancers invited people onto the dance floor. I'm usually too shy, but my feet led the way for me. Nani had suggested I wear a long skirt and I swirled it around as the dancers showed us how to move our feet and hips in time to the music.'

Launch day for Rani Reports on the Tropical Island Treasure by @asianastroboy.bsky.social and me! Endless thanks to our brilliant illustrator Navya Raju, editor Katie Jennings at @rocktheboatnews.bsky.social and agent @hslanews.bsky.social It is a very special book, dedicated to a very special woman
