The Shannara Chronicles: Video of Seattle & Allanon
Allanon has been alive a long time. He is a Druid. He is a warrior. He is a teacher. But perhaps most importantly, he is a historian.
He knows the history before the Great Wars. He knows how the Four Lands came to be. And when he doesn’t know an answer to something, he has the will and the ability to find it, no matter how difficult the road.
In this new video from The Shannara Chronicles, we view Seattle as the city used to be before the Great Wars brought devastation and ruin to civilizati...

Terry Brooks On THE BIG BANG THEORY – Sort Of
On January 5, 2016, The Shannara Chronicles premieres on MTV.
It’s not apparently the first time executive producer and author Terry Brooks’s name will hit network TV. Last week, on November 5th, The Big Bang Theory featured the interior of Howard and Bernadette’s home, the house he grew up in. In the episode, The Spock Resonance, Bernadette threatens to remodel the house. The furniture, the wall paper, the carpet—all of it smacks of Howard’s deceased mother.
All I can say is, Howard’s over...

Video: Terry Brooks & Robin Hobb Talk Writing & Publishing
Last weekend, I attended the Jet City Comic Show.
It is a small but growing convention in Tacoma, WA featuring an avid group of book readers, comic book enthusiasts, and collectors of all things geek. Terry Brooks, Brian Herbert, Robin Hobb, Bruce B. Taylor, and more than a dozen 47 North authors were with me. It was wonderful to see so many writers gathered in one place and, better, so many interested readers.
On Sunday, I moderated Terry Brooks and Robin Hobb in a panel titled The Evolving...

Pre-Order The New Magic Kingdom Short Story

New TV Series Covers for ELFSTONES & WISHSONG
The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara by Terry Brooks are two masterpieces of epic fantasy!

Terry Brooks is an executive producer on the project and he’s played an integral role in bringing his story to TV film. I have watched the show and they’ve done a great job maintaining the overall integrity of the story while maki...

Cover Reveal: THE SORCERER’S DAUGHTER
The Sorcerer’s Daughter by Terry Brooks publishes June 14, 2016!
It is the third and final book in the Defenders of Shannara series, a set of three stand alone books that are loosely connected by characters and theme. The novels have been far more personal in their construction, the stories focused on two or three characters and the hardships they encounter.
In my opinion, The Sorcerer’s Daughter is the strongest of the three. It all builds to this story.
More news about the forthcoming boo...
