Poll Friday: Would You Read A New Brooks Book Unrelated To His Previous Work?
Terry BrooksTerry tends to write more words than a book a year.
That means, eventually, he begins lapping himself, able to publish two books in a year. He did that several years ago with the Dark Legacy of Shannara novels, each one publishing every six months.

Poll Friday: What Defenders of Shannara Book Is Your Favorite?
When The Sorcerer’s Daughter published earlier this year, it concluded the Defenders of Shannara series.

The Shannara Chronicles On Blu-ray
Releasing December 6th “The Shannara Chronicles” will be made available on Blu-ray in the United States on December 6, 2016!
When the DVD was released several months ago, Terry and I received a lot of mail about it from his fans. Where was the Blu-ray option? At the time, we didn’t know if one would be made available.
Thankfully, MTV and Paramount are producing and distributing a Blu-ray, just in time for the holiday season. Was this their plan all along? No idea but I’m just happy it is happ...

BrooksBlog: An Update In All Things
Terry BrooksGreetings Everyone,
What’s wrong with me, you might ask? You never write, you never call, you don’t send presents, you pretend we don’t exist. We wait patiently for each new book, buy it to demonstrate our loyalty, and in between those once a year miracles, it’s like you don’t exist. Why do we even bother with you?
To which I can honestly say, “Beats me.”
But once again I am going to attempt to worm my way back into your good graces by writing this update on things you might have...
