NY Comic Con
Terry and I are flying out to New York on Wednesday and we'll be there through Sunday. Terry is going to promote Dark Wraith of Shannara at the NY Comic Con, the second largest comic con in the world. He is really looking forward to it. On Friday, he is signing at the Midtown Comics booth. On Saturday, he is on a Shannara panel in the afternoon—along with his editor Betsy Mitchell and the graphic novel's writer Robert Napton—which will be followed by a two-hour autograph signing. For those of you in New York or are going to be at the convention, please stop by and say hello! More information about Terry's appearances can be found on the Events page of the website!

Indomitable
With the Del Rey Newsletter going out two days ago, the website has been receiving a lot of email asking similar questions. Here are some of those questions and their answers:  Where can I find the short story Indomitable?
Indomitable is the Shannara short story that takes place after the events of The Wishsong of Shannara, where Jair Ohmsford must discover a way to end the residual evil of the Ildatch—at perhaps a dark consequence to himself. It sets up the events of Dark Wraith of Shannara. The short story was released as part of a hardcover anthology titled Legends II, which also had a number of great short stories from some of the genre's best writers. A year after its release, Indomitable then appeared in the paperback Legends II: Dragon, Sword, and King. Ask your local bookstore for it or order it online from the various booksellers that make it available.
- Will Dark Wraith of Shannara be released in hardcover?
As of this moment, Dark Wraith of Shannara won't be offered as a hardcover. Sometimes if a comic book series or a graphic novel trade paperback do well, a publisher will produce a hardcover. Until we know how Dark Wraith is going to perform, we won't have any indication if Del Rey is going to produce a hardcover or let a small press publisher take a crack at it.
- Will Terry be touring for the release of Dark Wraith of Shannara?
He won't be. He is in the middle of writing the new Landover novel and can't be separated from his surrogate child—the new book. But he is doing two events for the graphic novel. Read the Events page for more information. And if you want a signed copy, visit The Signed Page for more information.

January Ask Terry
A few days before Terry left for a trip to visit the French publisher, he sent in these answers to your January 2008 questions: January Ask TerryThere are some great answers in there, and some insight into what Terry is planning for the forthcoming Landover novel. Since Terry is not in the US and won't be until mid-March, the answers to February's questions won't be posted until late-March. On a final note, Terry will be in New York City on April 19th for the NY Comic Con. He will be promoting Dark Wraith of Shannara, but he will also have two signings at the convention—one after the event, one at the Del Rey booth. Shawn Speakman, the infamous WebDruid, will also be in attendance, in case you'd like to say hello. Labels: Ask Terry, Dark Wraith of Shannara, Tour

A Note From Terry
Hi Everyone, Just a quick letter to tell you about last weekend in Atlanta at DragonCon and the Decatur Book Festival. Arrived with Judine on Friday night, Labor Day weekend, to find lodging at one the DragonCon hotels. Spent most of the weekend trying to get on an elevator to our room, but other than that things were pretty much okay. Attended the opening ceremonies that night, where David Weber, Bill Fawcett and I put our formidable talents to use in competition with some pros on answering DragonCon questions. We won, but the fix was in. Saturday, Judine and I attended the Decatur Book Festival for a speech and a book signing. It was great fun with a church full of people who seemed interested enough to stay to the end. Hard to figure. Everyone was very nice and enthused about the new book and the series in general. I promised I would come back soon. Saturday night was the obligatory banquet with awards given for different things, most of which I have lost track of. But we visited with other writers and some actors and had a good meal and conversation. Sunday was a work day at DragonCon with panels, readings, autographings and a speech beginning at 10 am and not ending until close to midnight. All were well attended, even the 10 pm panel, which I would not have gone to if I hadn't been on the panel. Met lots of people, some of whom asked about your faithful Web Druid and his book. Okay, many asked. All in all, it was a joy to be there. Thanks to Bill Fawcett and Chairman Pat and all the rest of the DragonCon staff and the staff of the Decatur Book Festival who made the experience so enjoyable. We are off to England for the continuance of the book tour later this week. More when we return. Best to you all, Terry.
