Characters & Terry Brooks


brooks-bearersTerry Brooks has created some of the most memorable characters in the fantasy genre. Druids. A Weapons Master. A redeemed evil witch. Some are reluctant heroes who rise to the challenge; some are vile creatures who nevertheless have more than one side to their characters. All are memorable in some fashion and remain with the reader long after the book has been closed.

We are in store for a treat tomorrow! There are two of them in Terry’s new book, Bearers of the Black Staff!

Upcoming Chat: Peter V. Brett & Terry Brooks

Next Wednesday, the two writers will meet again in an online chat!
