I think it's worth pointing out (if you didn't already know) that Kate Griffin is also Catherine Webb aka the girl (literally she was still a child) who wrote the Horatio Lyle series first, so she is still pretty young...
I'm finding that I'm enjoying the Discworld books a little less now Terry's working so much with Rob - I've no idea how much input Rob's having, but there's definitely been a change in style over the last 2 - 3 books. They're certainly not as laugh-out-loud funny any more.
(BTW, if you want a good series of urban fantasy-with-magic stories and you've not already read them (and I know I was late to jump onto the band-wagon) then I highly recommend Ben Aaranovitch's Peter Grant/Rivers of London series. I got introduced to it via a crossover fanfic someone wrote for a friend for Yuletide (it was a crossover with the Morse prequel TV show, Endeavour) and fell instantly in love. I devoured books 2 - 4 in 3 days! I confess that after reading the Peter Grant series, I realised that this was what Paul Cornell was trying to do - but (in my opinion) failed to do in 'London Falling'.)
