A Decade For The Website!

Tonight at midnight ten years ago marks the moment when I launched the official Terry Brooks website. I can still remember that night very well. For one, I still had hair (and I miss running a comb through it!). Another, I had the best of friends around me, many of them to be with me tonight. Even after all of these passed years, I still feel the giddiness I had at launching this website and I can’t say how thankful I am to still work for Terry. He is one of my best friends and he has opened many doors to me that otherwise would have probably remained closed.

Best of all though, has been the fans. You all share a part of this website just as much as Terry or I do, and I hope you continue to do so in the coming year and decade!

So here is to 2010! It has been great being a Terry Brooks fan with all of you and 2010 will be no different! Cheers!

A New Terry Brooks Chat

Terry will be sitting down at a computer on Tuesday, December 8th at 7 pm EST / 4 pm PST to chat with this fans from around the globe. He will chat for at least an hour, although our last few chats have been closer to 1 1/2 hours.

We will be using Cover It Live. It is a great chat service that allows for a smooth moderated chat. Fans will be able to pose their question; the moderators will look at the questions and select the best ones. I will then select those that get through.

The chat will go live five minutes before the designated time. You will be able to enter the chat at that time in the portal gateway below and begin asking questions:



Terry will answer any and all questions you have so come prepared! Be sure to sign up for the chat reminder, as that might save some people from missing out on this fun opportunity!
