I am Terry Brooks, author of the Shannara series, Landover series, and the Word/Void trilogy.

Feel free to ask me anything. I am currently publishing a trilogy titled Dark Legacy of Shannara. The first book, Wards of Faerie, published last year. Tomorrow, Bloodfire Quest will be released. And in four months, Witch Wraith will conclude the series. I think this is some of my best writing to date. For those of you who have read The Elfstones of Shannara, the Dark Legacy trilogy might be right up your alley.

In November 2012, I partnered with my Web Druid Shawn Speakman to create The Annotated Sword of Shannara. The 200 or so annotations give a bit of insight into how Sword came to be written, how it found its way to editor Lester del Rey, and how it eventually went on to be published.

For you new writers out there, I wrote a memoir / writing guide titled Sometimes the Magic Works. Might be fun for you.

When I'm not writing, I spend my time traveling, enjoying my family, and reading whatever I can get my hands on.

Looking forward to answering your questions and talking about fantasy!

All the best,

Terry
