After leaving Tor Books less than two years ago (see this article), Publishers Weekly is reporting that author Terry Goodkind is returning to the Tor fold; he’s signed a three-book deal, which will start with “a new Richard and Kahlan novel, due in early 2011, featuring the principle characters from Goodkind’s previous bestsellers.”
PW quotes Tor Publisher Tom Doherty: “We are excited to publish Terry Goodkind again. Millions of people delight in the novels of Richard and Kahlan and eagerly await the continuation of their story.”
Goodkind also released a statement about the move, saying, “I’m thrilled to be back with Tor to tell more stories of Richard and Kahlan.”
