Terry Brooks
Any Terry Brooks fans in the Seattle area?
I found out purely by accident that the former Waldenbooks store in the Cascade Mall in Burlington is relaunching itself as "Borders Express" and this is their big Grand Re-Opening Celebration. Apparently they've got Terry Brooks coming in today to sign and so on.
I've never read him, but I know the name. The nice (if geeky) counter clerks at the store yesterday seemed quite excited by his impending appearance.
Interestingly, he's appearing at the 50th Annual Pacific Northwest Writers Association Summer Conference in July, which I'd been blissfully unaware of. The PNWA is probably just another totally insular, screwed up, back-biting association like GAMA but at least it looks interesting on paper.

I have read some of his stuff and it's of the functional sory telling style. Nothing to challenge or stray into "creaive" areas. Straight fantasy, with touch of humor and some predictable horror.
"...just another totally insular, screwed up, back-biting association like GAMA ..."
Is there another kind??? :)
