Where did you read it? It may be the last of the children's sub-arc, but does that mean Tiffany won't show up in the adult DW books?

It says so on a German fansite, without much emphasis though:

Quote:

Nation - Terry Pratchetts übernächster Roman
27.02.2007
Terry Pratchett sprach auf dem Scheibenwelt-Fest 2007 von dem Buch, an dem er gerade arbeitet. Es wird Nation heißen und nur dann auf der Scheibenwelt spielen, wenn es unbedingt sein muss.
Bisher hat Terry schon einige tausend Wörter geschrieben und es wird seiner Aussage nach "anders" sein, als bisherige Bücher.
Vor Nation werden noch Making Money und einige Scheibenwelt-Begleitbücher erscheinen. Danach gibt es vermutlich "When I'm old I shall wear Midnight", der ebenfalls bereits vor einer Weile angekündigte letzte Teil der Tiffany Weh-Bücher.

Translation:
Nation - Terry Pratchett's next to next novel

27.02.2007
Terry Paratchett talked about his next to next book on the Scheibenwelt*-Festival 2007. It will be named Nation, and will only take place on Discworld if it can't be avoided. Terry wrote a few thousand words of it so far, and says it will be "different" from his books so far.
before Nation, "Making Money" and a few other Discworld novels will be published.** Then, there'll be "When I'm old I shall wear Midnight", the last novel of the Tiffany-Achings-series that has been recently announced.

4 Tiffany-Bücher geplant!
05.06.2004
Terry Pratchett plant ingesamt 4 Bücher um die Nachwuchshexe Tiffany Aching.
Auf amazon.co.uk steht ein Video-Schnipsel, in dem Terry Pratchett ein wenig über "A Hat Full of Sky" plaudert. Die wichtigste Information, die wir Fans daraus entnehmen dürfen ist wohl, das Terry nach "The Wee Free Man" und eben "A HAt Full of Sky" noch zwei weitere Bücher über Tiffany Aching und ihre Ausbildung zur Hexe schreiben will.

4 Tiffany-Achings-Bücher geplant!
05.06.2004
Terry pratchett plans writing four novels about Tiffany Achings. There is a short video on amazon.co.uk where Terry Pratchett tlaks a little about "A Hat Full of Sky". The most important information we gained from it, though, is that after "The Wee Free Man" and "A HAt Full of Sky" there will be two more books about Tiffany Aching and her education.

*Discworld
**That probably relates to a few specifically German publishing dates, re-translations, and such.

So it's possible she'll be back in the adult books then. That says four books about her education. What happens when she's qualified?

Buzzfloyd · 07-03-2007, 12:06

Right. That doesn't say no more Tiffany Aching, just the end of her mini-series.

I'm not surprised he's finally ready to write something that's not DW, though. I would have been trying to break out a long time ago!

Apparently PTerry has hinted, during his Wintersmith-tour, that Esk may make an appearance... Even if she doesn't make it into the final version - for me, that sounds like Granny tying together the last loose bits of her DW-career...

Please read my comments on this on the "Equal Rites, is it just me?" thread.

I'm pretty sure she met all the requirements for a wizard (i.e. being the eighth child of an eighth son), except for the whole being-a-man clause.

Erm, I thought it was Carpe Jugulum that they first appeared in. Wee Free Men was just the first Tiffany book.
