Russ has since done a map of Parkasia, the Forbidding, and most recently for Landover. Terry loved the work so much he asked to keep Russ for the next few series-series that would demand new maps. He also did the artwork on the Castaway’s Map that began the narrative in Voyage. A wine country map illustrator for years, he painted a single-sheet Four Lands map similar in scope to that done by the Hildebrandt Bros. Russ became Terry’s new mapmaker in 2000 with the publication of The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch. to long-time Del Rey Books editor and part-time artist Shelly Shaprio, fans have been spoiled.Īnd they have been spoiled the last twelve years by the work of cartographer Russ Charpentier.

Terry has finished writing the sequel to Bearers of the Black Staff, titled The Measure of the Magic. It is the continuation of the Genesis of Shannara trilogy and is set 500 years after the events in The Gypsy Morph.

Originally, The Sword of Shannara was published in 1977 in a large, softcover, trade paperack edition. The rarity of these three volumes is immense and it is due to their initial printing numbers.


Collecting The Sword of Shannara, The Elfstones of Shannara and The Wishsong of Shannara are the three hardest hardcovers to find in the history of the fantasy genre.Everything listed on this page is tentative but it is also what Terry has in mind at this very moment: Letters From Terry JHoliday 2009 AugMaHoliday 2007 JHoliday 2006 Holiday 2005 The Gypsy Morph – paperback (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 1-3 (in stores) A Landover omnibus – books 4-5 (in stores) A Princess of Landover (in stores) The World of Shannara – Revised & Updated (in stores)… The website receives many questions about what he is publishing next, so this part of the website is devoted to the future-not only concerning the next new book but what Terry’s planning on doing over the next several years. He finishes a new book at the same time as the last one is being released, so he is always one book ahead of what the readers have in their hands. It is this work ethic that helps him publish a book every year.

He begins writing at six o’clock every morning, and during those moments he is not writing, he has one foot in the story.
