Bloodfire Quest, Book Two in The Dark Legacy of Shannara trilogy, is publishing March 12, 2013!

Especially when those characters are in the Forbidding!

As usual, Terry will be touring for the new book’s release, visiting several bookstores in the western US. You can see his tour by clicking HERE.

Poll: Walker Boh or Allanon?
Yesterday, I spent the day working on Unfettered.
Unfettered is the fantasy anthology that I am putting together to help pay off the medical debt from my bout with uninsured cancer in 2011. There are 23 short stories in the anthology, written by some of the best authors working right now.
If you love fantasy, you will want to pre-order it HERE.
Terry has contributed two different stories to Unfettered. The first is Imaginary Friends, a precursor to his Word/Void series. Set in Sinnissippi Park,...

Bloodfire Quest: Todd Lockwood Interior Art
Bloodfire Quest — Art by Todd Lockwood
Bloodfire Quest, Book Two of The Dark Legacy of Shannara trilogy, will be published on March 12, 2013!
To celebrate Terry’s 35th anniversary of publishing last year, Del Rey Books hired artist Todd Lockwood to paint a full-color interior foldout piece of art for Wards of Faerie. It didn’t stop there. Todd was also hired to paint the interior art for Bloodfire Quest and July’s finale, Witch Wraith.
Todd worked closely with Terry on the Bloodfire Quest art. I...

Terry Reviews: The Leopard
The Leopard by Jo Nesbø
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Because I am swamped with finishing my next Shannara book (for 2014) and reading the galley proofs for Witch Wraith, I have not read a whole slew of fantasy books, both adult and young adult, that I am anxious to get to. Also, I am holding off on Shawn until I can get a running start! (Just kidding – I will review his book THE DARK THORN next month or the one after).
So let me recommend Jo Nesbo to you. Any of his books are wonderful, but I just f...

Poll: Which Four Lands Pet Would You Want?
We have domesticated dogs. And cats. And birds. We have goldfish that swim around in tanks and snakes that barely move.
But what if you could domesticate creatures from the Four Lands? How cool would it be to have your own moor cat? Or a war shrike? Or maybe something more deadly, like a jachyra? Or asphinx?
So, what Four Lands pet would you want and why?

Available Now: The Weapons Master’s Choice
Today, The Weapons Master’s Choice by Terry Brooks is e-published!
It is the second of three e-short stories in the Paladins of Shannara e-series. The first was Allanon’s Quest, featuring the Druid Allanon and his efforts in locating the last heir of Shannara.
For The Weapons Master’s Choice, Terry has returned to one of his best characters ever—Garet Jax! To say Garet is a fan favorite is a vast understatement. Terry waited for the right story to come around, it did, and he wrote it. Now it is...
