Terry Brooks
Even after Sword was published, I was still only thinking about the next book, Elfstones.
Terry Brooks
The more complex and overwhelming the threat to a protagonist, the better the opportunity for the author to create a compelling conflict and a dramatic resolution.
Terry Brooks
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
Terry Brooks
Anyway, several rewrites later, Del Rey Books did publish my first novel, and it did become the first work of fiction on the New York Times trade paperback bestseller list.
Terry Brooks
Deception is mostly a game we play with ourselves.
Terry Brooks
