Terry Brooks Chat
The Terry Brooks chat today went very well! Terry was in rare form and it was great seeing him and Peter V. Brett answer questions from their fans.

I am the long-time friend and webmaster for Terry Brooks as well as the author of The Dark Thorn, an urban/epic fantasy hybrid novel Terry calls "a fine tale by a talented writer." Join me on Facebook and Twitter (@shawnspeakman)!
Terry I have followed your books from almost the beginning I just finished
Bearers of the black staff. It was awesome. How long do we have to wait for The Measure of the Magic? I know that Bearers just came out but you kind
left us hanging again.
Thanks

The Measure of the Magic will be published August 2011. So a year, sadly. It is worth it though.
Hi Mr. Brooks,
Sorry about the header it sounds like that movie Mr. Brooks. Anyways I wanted to comment a couple things of your Landover series. 1st I was wondering if the 6th is going to be the last. I haven’t read it yet but am up to it and waiting for it to be returned to the local library here in Guantanamo bay Cuba. 2nd I was curious as to why you thought the need to explain again all your characters in every book. I found it a little irritating having to reread what I already knew. The only thing I could come up with is that you added those for the people eagerly awaiting the release of your next books. 3rd I absolutely loved The Tangle Box the best so far and the ending it made me laugh to know Horris finally found his pot of gold posing as you. Quite witty. Thank you for writing them so far I have found great joy reading them.
Sincerely Landover Fan.
1. Hope you can get the book soon. The 6th book is not the last Landover book, although it will probably be several several years before Terry writes another one, which will probably be the last one.
2. Terry re-explains the characters in all of his novels because after several years go by people forget what came before. In the case of A Princess of Landover, it had been 14 years since people had read a new Landoer book and some refreshing was needed, at least Terry thought so.
3. Glad you enjoyed The Tangle Box. It is my favorite Landover book too.
Mr. Speakman,
Thank you for responding to my comments so soon. I really appreciate it and will be looking forward to the next Landover book.
Sincerely Landover Fan
Not a problem. It’s my job. 🙂
I am in the process of buying a kindle. Will we see all books published be available in this format? Although i love to have the books it makes sense to use this technology.
Terry hopes they will be published in Kindle format, although there is never any guarantees in this business.
what is terry’s email? i need to interview him for a school english project
Terry does not have email for the fans to use. You can send him a letter through snail mail but it will take him at least three months to get to it. Good luck!
I am new to these books and started with Armageddon’s Children and just finished with the Gypsy Morph. Totally hooked! They are wonderful! Where should I go from here? Should I start at the beginning of the Shannara books?
You can either go back and read the Word/Void series, or you can jump forward and start with The Sword of Shannara. Your choice!
