BrooksBlog: Just Write The Damn Thing
Greetings Readers and Believers in the Magic of Books!
Just felt like saying something that makes me feel good – something about books and readers and the way stories make us feel. What we talk about most, it sometimes seems, is what matters least in the larger picture of our lives. For example, we talk about politics these days constantly. We talk about it until we want to scream at everyone to shut up already – no more talk about what we cannot do once we have cast our ballots in the nex...

BrooksBlog: When It Doesn’t Work
Writers are asked questions all the time about what they do and how they do it. Mostly, we have some standard answers that skip about the surface of things like dried-out leaves in a wind. Because otherwise – even if we don’t admit it – the answer is too complicated. The process of writing an entire book is demanding and relies as much as anything on how we go about trying make it happen. Obviously, there is a great deal more to constructing a book from scratch than simply sitting down and p...

BrooksBlog: Happy New Year 2022
Happy New Year, Readers Everywhere!
Or perhaps it is almost Happy New Year for some of you. Hard to tell how long it will take this blog will reach anyone. Mail isn’t what it used to be, even if it’s online. Deliveries are suspect in terms of time and place, and sometimes it feels to me as if the whole world was upended while I was asleep. So much change, so little the same from one day to the next, such shifts and twists and turns that each day the prevailing urge is to read right away t...

Small Magic Available As Trade Paperback
Hi Brooks Readers,
The trade paperback of Small Magic is now in fine bookstores.
Why is this important? In my view, I think this trade paperback is a great option for gift giving. Want to introduce someone to Terry’s work? This collection is perfect because it offers some quick reads, some longer reads, and it contains tales from his three main series. In short, a great gift idea.
And of course, for those of you who are already fans but haven’t read it yet, you may want to put this on your ...
