Bringing you a feel good moment. And the reason why authors make a difference!

Terry Brooks held his first event for the release of The Gypsy Morph last night. It was a great event where he read an excerpt from the Landover novel to be released in 2009, answered several questions (I’ll post video of that Q&A soon), and he signed hundreds and hundreds of books for his fans.

Halfway through the signing event, a mother with three young children brought her copy of The Gypsy Morph to Terry to be signed. At that exact moment, her cell phone rang; it was her husband calling, a soldier stationed in the Middle East and a huge Terry Brooks fan. The book to be signed was for him and would soon be mailed to the Middle East.

Terry stood up from his chair and asked for the phone.

The Gypsy Morph, Book Three in the Genesis of Shannara series, has now been released. It wraps up the story arc begun in Armageddon’s Children and The Elves of Cintra, where a ragged band of Seattle children, two Knights of the Word, and a few others fight to survive in a world devastated and destroyed by evil—and on the brink of apocalypse!

To help promote The Gypsy Morph and give fans a little insight into his world, Terry has put together a podcast. Use the player above to listen to Terry’s thoughts on the new book, why he tours, why fantasy is relevant and what his future plans are.

Terry is also doing a lengthy tour beginning today! Visit the Events page of his official website to see if he is coming to a bookstore near you!
