Got Landover?

Terry has finished the final edits on A Princess of Landover, the first new Magic Kingdom book in 14 years!

Magic Kingdom has always been kind of a stepchild to the rest of what Terry has done. The Shannara series dwarfs everything else -- people love their epic fantasy. The irony is Magic Kingdom is the closest thing to an autobiography Terry has ever written, and Ben Holiday is Terry Brooks in many ways. To know Terry a bit more, just read Ben Holiday.

In preparation of reading the new book, I've re-read the first five books. I haven't read them in all of those 14 years and I was amazed at how much I had forgotten and how good they are, especially Wizard At Large and The Tangle Box.

So, to the new Poll: Have you read the Landover novels? Have you read all five Magic Kingdom books? Only a few? If you have read them, will you be re-reading them in preparation for the next book? Or do you simply not like Landover? Speak your mind on the Forum! I'm curious how many of you are Landover fans.

A Few Signed Copies

Terry had a holiday online signing with The Signed Page to help those fans who couldn't see him last year on tour get signed copies of some of his books. It's something he enjoys doing and helps many people around the world.

Today, The Signed Page has made available for sale several signed hardcover copies of The Sword of Shannara Trilogy, The Heritage of Shannara and The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. These are the omnibuses and are beautiful copies. The Signed Page also has posted several copies of The Gypsy Morph signed. First come, first ordered, first received! Good luck!

And again, sometime in the summer, the ordering period for A Princess of Landover will begin. I have seen the preliminary artwork and it is absolutely gorgeous, easily in my mind the best cover since Ilse Witch. More to come on that as the year progresses!

2009 Appearances

Terry will be attending several book festivals and writers conferences around the world in 2009. Visit the EVENTS page of the site to view the locations and events Terry will be attending soon.

The UK publisher has already decided not to tour Terry through the UK this year, wishing instead to market A Princess of Landover a bit stronger. Terry hopes to return to the UK in 2010.

Terry and the US publisher are in talks at the moment about a tour in September for the release of A Princess of Landover. If that does happen, expect signing dates and times and locations to be posted on the site in June.
