BrooksBlog: Tasmania – Part 2

You’ve heard of Australia’s kangroos, but did you know there were several varieties? In Tasmania, they have the small variety, the Eastern Graya Gray Kangaroo – also known at the Eastern Kangaroo, which we found all over the place, but close up in several wildlife refuges and healing centers. Very calm and approachable there, where they were used to humans.

They also have wallabies, which are sort of like small kangaroos that tend to run out in front of cars and meet a predictable end. We fou...

BrooksBlog: Tasmania – Part 1

A few words – or perhaps paragraphs – about our recent visit Down Under. Judine and I were in Australia for a little over three weeks – nine days in Tasmania, the rest in Melbourne and Gold Coast on the mainland. Much of what we did was connected to two Supanova conventions in the two named cities, but I am leaving that for another blog and tackling Tasmania first.

You can see a lot of Tasmania in nine days, and by doing so you find out some really interesting things. We were there in their a...

BrooksBlog: Music – Part 2

So, anyway, the point of this blog and the one preceding it have to do with a discussion of the role music plays in writing for this author. I have already established that I grew up listening to classical (my Mom’s influence) and rock and roll (peer pressure and the times). Not to listen to while I write but to use as inspiration for dreams and ideas. So as with all things, the nature of the music has changed with the passing of times. I still listen to classical, but not so much anymore. I...

BrooksBlog: Music – Part 1

Terry BrooksHi Everyone,

Judine and I are in Tasmania for a week and a few days prior to attending two venues of Supanove in Melbourne and Gold Coast. This part is a real opportunity to wind down from writing the third Shannara book before going into the last. I had some opportunities to write on the various airplane flights we’ve been on over the last few days, but I just didn’t feel like it. Instead, I listened to music.

So I get asked all the time if I listen to music when I write, and the...
