The Shannara Chronicles Premieres TONIGHT!

shannara-tonight

It has been a long, amazing adventure but The Shannara Chronicles is finally premiering tonight at 10/9c on MTV!

A lot of different dreams are coming true today — and wow, it’s happened! Terry is thrilled with the adaptation, as a fan I love how it remains true to the book while still being something new, and we both are hoping you love it as much as we do!

We will have a Spoiler Discussion area set up on Terry’s website by day’s end! So we can all talk about the TV series!

From Terry, Judin...

Early Screenings of THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES

The Shannara Chronicles premieres January 5th at 10/9c on MTV!

But if you can make your way to Washington State or live nearby, you can watch it early!

In partnership with MTV and Sonar Entertainment, the EMP Museum in Seattle is screening the first two episodes of the forthcoming epic TV series. And not in some rare, one-day event. No. That would be boring.

The episodes will be shown twice daily from December 21st through December 31st!

Terry’s New Landover Short Story Is Here!

cover-unbound-finalToday is December 1st!

And you know what that means?

The ebook for Unbound is available in fine ebook stores now!

And that means the new Magic Kingdom of Landover short story is here! It is titled An Unfortunate Influx of Filipians and it features Ben Holiday and friends as they come up against that most terrible of foe—G’Home Gnomes!

I am more than proud to have my name alongside that story in Unbound. As the editor, the anthology is arguably better than Unfettered, its stories more varied b...

Opening Title Sequence: The Shannara Chronicles

The Shannara Chronicles premieres on Tuesday, January 5th, on MTV.

That said, every Tuesday, the first thing you can watch is the title sequence for the TV show!

It is posted above. I find title sequences super important in this new golden age of TV. My favorites the last few years have had this kind of style—animation mixed with a song. Game of Thrones, True Detective, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc. Powerful opening statements that help set the tone for the overall show.

The title sequence...

New Signed Hardcover Edition of THE ELFSTONES OF SHANNARA

brooks-elfstonesof5000I love signed books! I collect them, show them off, and sell them for a living.

So when I see a deal that features signed books, I tend to get pretty excited about it!

Barnes & Noble is doing one such cool promo! On November 27th—known as Black Friday in the United States for the stress and chaos created for gift deal hunters after Thanksgiving—all B&N brick-and-mortar stores will be carrying a menagerie of signed books!

Quantities of these books will be limited. Very limited. About 5000 copi...
