Be A Character!
There are few instances where the world of fiction collides with that of reality. Here is one of them.
Terry, who is right now wrapping up the final two chapters in Book Three of the Genesis of Shannara trilogy, will spend the rest of the year planning the new Landover novel. When he starts writing it in January 2008, he will not only have the story to tell but...
... he will have to create a character whose name will come from the real world!
Terry, in conjunction with the World Association for Children and Parents (WACAP), is holding an auction where the winner will have his/her name placed in the new Landover novel, as one of Terry's characters. This is one of those instances where you can be made immortal—to have your name in a Terry Brooks book is priceless!
Of course, Terry won't divulge right now if the character will be a hero, a fiend, or creature. You'll have to wait until the book is placed in Advanced Reader Copy form to find out (ie. you'll be reading the book before anyone else, before it is even published)!
So, if you want to bid on your name being in a Terry Brooks book, click WACAP Terry Brooks Auction for more information!
Happy Bidding! It is going to a great cause!

sounds like a great cause and a fun contest! I threw out the first bid to get it rolling. (raldara)
Wow! What a neat idea.
I hope Seymore Butts, Ivana Cuddles, or Harry Backend don't win.
:-)
Indeed, J.David. That would NOT be good. haha
I'm hoping that the winner will be Ben Holiday's long lost alterego: Ben Dover!
This is a terrific idea and opportunity. I'm going to go make a post over at my blog to let as many people know about it as possible.

I'd want my name to be a villain! hahaha!
A long time ago at a signing, Terry said he liked my name and would use it in a book. A couple books later, there was indeed a character who had a variant of my name (Nest's dead mother, if I recall correctly). Might still have been a coincidence, but either way, it was fun.
The price is really getting up there! Amazing! I was going to bid, but can't now. haha
The bidding ended a few hours ago, and ID "shoopdiesel" took the prize with a whopping bid of $1520! I can't publish shoopdiesel's name here for privacy reasons, but they're welcome to.
Thanks to all who participated, and a huge thanks to Terry and shoopdiesel.
