Shipping Now: Sometimes the Magic Works
The limited and lettered editions of Sometimes the Magic Works double-signed by Terry Brooks and Nate Taylor has arrived into the Grim Oak Press warehouse! Copies are shipping now.
This is an important book to me. When I decided to professionally attempt the lunacy that is known as the craft of writing, I did several different things. I bought the same computer Terry used. I set up my computer files the same way Terry does. I even bought a similar computer chair to the one he sits in every mo...

Pre-Order: The Stiehl Assassin
The Stiehl Assassin, Book 3 in The Fall of Shannara, publishes May 28, 2019!

Pre-Order: The Stiehl Assassin SIGNED
The Stiehl Assassin, Book 3 in The Fall of Shannara, publishes May 28, 2019!
First, yes, Del Rey Books moved up the publication date. So we are all getting the book a week earlier than planned. Yay!
Second, that also means that Terry will be touring signing copies of The Stiehl Assassin earlier as well. Tour details should be known by April. They will be posted here on Terry’s website when ready.
But for today, I am announcing that Terry is signing copies for people through The Signed Page ag...

BrooksBlog: Meeting Karen Russell
Hi All!
So, something special happened to me Saturday night, and I wanted to share it.
Some years ago, Judine and I read a wonderful book titled Swamplandia by an author named Karen Russell. It was one of those magical books in which life and fantasy in the present interacted in the life of a young girl in Florida. I love these type of books anyway, but this one was particularly memorable. Later, we chose it in our bookclub to read and I think everyone in our group loved it, too. Then, a...

First Page of Unfettered III’s Allanon’s Quest
Allanon returns! Sort of!
In 2012, Terry wrote three Shannara short stories that were published as ebooks only. The first of these is titled Allanon’s Quest, a tale that takes place before the events of The Sword of Shannara and focuses on Allanon attempting to locate and keep safe a scion of the House Shannara.
Fans have asked repeatedly about these short story ebooks being published in a hardcover or paperback book, so that non-ebook buyers can read them. That time has come. In Fall 2020,...

BrooksBlog: 2018 Year End Summary & Into 2019
Happy New Year, Everyone!
Since I am awake on the morning of January 1st, I better get working on a year end summary of what’s transpired in the Brooks book writing world and what’s to come in the New Year. Usually I do these things about four weeks or so into the new year. But Judine says, “You should write something now, not later on. You can’t just ignore your readers for four weeks year after year.” I reply that I write a book every year – two this past year – so that’s not ignoring m...

New Interview & Give the Gift of Street Freaks
The holiday season is upon us! And that means book giving!
For your consideration, as Terry’s long-time webmaster, I love recommending books during the holiday season. Giving The Sword of Shannara or Running with the Demon or Magic Kingdom For Sale-Sold is a great way to introduce the magic of Terry Brooks to new readers. But this year saw the publication of The Skaar Invasion, Street Freaks, the Warrior Word/Void e-novella, and the double-signed limited edition of The Elfstones of Shannara!
