For every writer who makes it onto the New York Times Best Sellers List, it is a joy.
Terry Brooks has done it countless times and each time it is special to him. It immediately correlates that people are reading his work and that makes him happy. After all, that’s why he still writes—to be read.
The Gypsy Morph, Book Three in the Genesis of Shannara series, will debut on the New York Times Book Review Best Sellers Fiction List at #2!! Only one book, Devil Bones by Kathy Reichs, sold more in hardcover last week in fiction.

Terry Brooks is currently on the touring road right now. If you have the chance to see him, do so and tell him congratulations!
It couldn't happen to a nicer author, either. This book made me both laugh and cry--Terry's a terrific writer. Those who may not know his work would do well to begin with Armageddon's Children, the first in this trilogy, or with Running with the Demon, the first in his Word & Void trilogy.
