June ASK TERRY Q&A
Terry Brooks For many years the only chance a fan had of speaking to Terry was to meet him at tour events or conventions.
With the establishment of this website in 2000, Terry began accepting two questions from each fan per month. On the last day of the month, five questions are randomly drawn. Terry answers these five questions and they are posted monthly for your enjoyment.
Below are the questions selected from June 2018 and Terry’s answers! Enjoy!

It’s Published! The Stiehl Assassin!
That’s right! The day has come!
The Stiehl Assassin, Book 3 in the Fall of Shannara series, is now published and in fine bookstores from Terry Brooks and Del Rey Books!
I love BrooksBooks release days. They make me happy. While I read The Stiehl Assassin months ago — and loved it, by the way — I always get super excited that you all can finally read it. I grew up a fan like most of you. I remember what those days felt like. And through you, I get to revel in it. Plus I finally get to talk to...

Tour Details: The Stiehl Assassin
Terry and Judine will be hitting the road in two weeks in support of The Stiehl Assassin, Book 3 in The Fall of Shannara series!
All events are finalized — except one. The Portland, OR event is still being planned and will likely take place in July. Details on that event will be posted the moment I receive them. The Signed Page will also have signed copies of the book, as does Barnes & Noble. I do a better job of packing The Signed Page books than B&N does but B&N is cheaper. So pick your cho...

BrooksBlog: The Pitfalls of Trying Something New
I have always believed that to be a complete author you need to try something new with your writing on a regular basis. In fantasy, where series are frequently the norm for any writer and have been for me, lo these many years, the temptation to just keep writing in the same world is very strong. Think about it. If readers love a series, they want you to write more. If readers are buying the series, the publisher wants you to write more. If the books are successful, you know that if you w...

BrooksBlog: The Blurring of Genres
I said a few days back that I wanted to write something about shifts in the nature of books and how they are being marketed and shelved. The process for many years was pretty simple. You took the core element in the story, decided if it was animal, mineral or vegetable and proceeded accordingly. I can remember the old days my editor was very firm about not mixing science fiction and fantasy. He’s probably turning over in his grave at this point, given the fact that the two are engaged in...

ARC Giveaway: Unfettered III
Unfettered III publishes March 19, 2019!
It is a project close to my heart, one that has taken two years to come together. But the time it has taken has been more than worth it. It has a menagerie of different SF&F stories, featuring bestselling authors alongside new voices. Not only that, but Terry contributed Allanon’s Quest, the prequel short story to The Sword of Shannara!
Here is what Publishers Weekly had to say about Unfettered III:
This powerhouse addition to the Unfettered series con...
