Photos: Terry with Child of Light

Hi Brooks Readers,

A short note on this Friday.

Terry stopped by The Signed Page earlier this week, and he signed over 600 copies of Child of Light. If you want a copy, you can order one now and they will ship out on Monday next week. All copies that were pre-ordered have already shipped unless those books are awaiting other titles not yet in stock.

I took three photos of Terry when he came over to sign. I thought I’d share them here:

And a quick thank you to the fans. I’ve been ...

Author Blurbs: Child of Light

Hi All,

Child of Light published last week. As if you didn’t already know, it is Terry’s new fantasy book. It is unrelated to anything he’s written in the past and I think it is pretty magical. Judine felt the same way when she read it. And when Terry’s editor Anne Groell read the book, she jumped at the chance to publish it for Del Rey.

Judine, Anne, and I were not the only ones who felt that way. When Anne finished editing it and Terry completed his edits on Child of Light, Del Rey sent ...

Meet Harrow: A Child of Light Hero Forge Creation

Hi Brooks Readers,

I don’t mean to steal you away from reading Child of Light, which is in fine bookstores now in case you don’t have a copy yet. But this is pretty cool.

The fine folks at Del Rey Books teamed up with Hero Forge Minis to produce a beautiful rendition of Harrow, one of the Sylvan characters from Child of Light. Terry worked with a designer at Hero Forge to create the custom tabletop RPG mini, paying specific attention to the details set forth in the book to match up with wh...

Two Virtual Tour Events Today

Dear BrooksReaders,

It’s that time. Sort of. Today was the original release date for Child of Light. The book became delayed due to a shortage of nationwide truck drivers that could deliver books to all stores on time.

The events in support of the book are happening no matter what! That means today, Terry will be taking part in two different virtual events. Here are the details:

Virtual Facebook Live Reading: 1PM PT on Terry’s Facebook Page Virtual Zoom Event: 6PM PT with University Book...

ARC Giveaway: Child of Light

Hi Brooks Readers,

Happy Monday! It’s October, the leaves are changing, the days are cooling, and my favorite reading weather is almost here.

That’s why I’m pleased that Child of Light is publishing on October 19th. Only 15 days away. It will give everyone something new to read right when Fall really gets going. It is an amazing book, one I think showcases Terry’s very best abilities as a storyteller. It’s a story he’s eager for you all to read; it’s a story I can’t wait to talk about with you o...

Child of Light Delayed Until October 19th

Hi Brooks Readers,

This isn’t the best of news but it could be much, much worse.

Child of Light had a publication date of October 12th. That is now moving one week to October 19th. There are industry-wide issues occurring right now due to the lingering effects of COVID. There are paper shortages. Printing delays. Binding delays. Etc. You get the idea. For Child of Light, the books got printed on time but a shortage of freight truck drivers is the reason for this particular delay.

Therefore, you ...
