Authors

There are a few authors that I truly enjoy reading. Even though most of these authors are well known, there are still some people I have talked to who have never heard of them so I would like to help spread their names in the hope of keeping their works in print for future reading.

Terry Brooks
Terry Brooks' first novel, The Sword of Shannara, was published in 1977. It was the first fantasy novel to appear on the New York Times best sellers list and remained there for 5 months. Two more books, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara completed the trilogy. Since then he has published 16 more novels in the Shannara series to great success. In addition to the Shannara series, Landover, which includes six novels, was also a great success. Currently he is publishing one new novel per year to add to these wonderful worlds of Shannara and Landover.
