Terry's Holiday Letter

Since I've been receiving a lot of email from fans about this, I thought I would simply put the issue to bed.

Terry is doing a 2009 Holiday Letter. In it, he describes his last year of work and what work he plans on doing in the next few years. He talks about the two movies and where they stand, as well as discusses the illustrated version of Indomitable that Subterranean Press will be doing.

I now have this letter and will be posting it on Thanksgiving, much earlier than I usually post it. But I have a great gift to give you all next month, so I'm not worried about spoiling too much by releasing the holiday letter early.

I hope you all are okay with that. Ha!

So log in on Thanksgiving. The 2009 Holiday Letter will be posted. I hope you all have a safe coming week and, for those of you in the United States, eat until it puts you to sleep!

Eldon describes the initial process he went through to produce a screenplay based on Terry's second novel, The Elfstones of Shannara, which eventually went on to be purchased by Warner Bros. He also goes into detail about his experience with the movie industry, why he chose The Elfstones of Shannara instead of The Sword of Shannara and how he balances his time between screenwriting and his own career as a novelist.

He has a lot of great things to say, so be sure to check it out! If you missed the first metion of the interview, this is the perfect time to get up to date on the Shannara movie project!
