From the old saying: Procrastination is the thief of time.

Terry comments on the inspiration for Thief of Time:

“The genesis for ToT, for me, was an article I read a few years ago about a genuine glass clock, with one metal component (the image of it shattering in slow motion tends to stick in the mind) and I believe it was made in Germany. The idea of a perfect clock stopping Time seemed an inevitable next step. This made it a ‘Susan’ book, because she’s not a creature of time… which brought in Death and the Auditors, with their known animosity to life… and so it went.”
