By the time I finished reading it, I knew that Wizard’s First Rule was anything but generic fantasy-but I couldn’t yet put my finger on what was different about it.ġ. It was in the fantasy section, and I hadn’t yet read it that was good enough for me. When I went to the base library and picked up Wizard’s First Rule by Terry Goodkind, I had never heard of the author, and I had no particular reason for selecting that particular book. The other slot usually was occupied by a generic fantasy novel-something to pass the time on Sunday mornings after church. One of my books, of course, was the Bible. During the first portion of my medic program (“Black” phase), soldiers were allowed only two books and no electronic devices. 1Įvery aspect of an Army trainee’s life is heavily controlled. I genuinely believed that God was the only path to happiness-yet I felt miserable almost every day, and my misery could be explained only partly by my extremely negative experience in the U.S. I was six weeks into a long and grueling Army medic training program, intermittently single and engaged (it was complicated), and a devout Christian. I wish I could make it happen for everybody quickly, but the best I can do is pick away at writing and editing in between raising two small kids.In January 2006, I was (barely) nineteen years old. It's the only way I find out what happens! Also I adore the satisfaction of finishing an epic and I know I have other readers waiting to hear from me about new stuff. Personally I can't wait until I get this all written. Book I will be free and if people like it then the rest of the series will be a reasonable price. Once everything is written (which will be one or two more years) then I will publish with the same approach. I'm 12 chapters into the second novel of what will be a trilogy or quartet. So, it will be sometimes similar in setting and magic system, but I'm working to make it fresh and grand and a brand new read. It's 2,200 years prior to the story that is in The Rys Chronicles. To answer your question about more books, the answer is YES! My next series is a prequel.

I'm so very glad that you enjoyed my series.
