If Terry Goodkind can publish several books, and get a TV show, then anybody can!

    I used to enjoy his books and you made me look him up for the first time since the terrible Law of Nines book.

    He's dead! That was a surprise! Otherwise most of the Sword of Truth series was "watch Richard take on communism........Again".

    Yeah, he died a few years ago.

    I enjoyed the first couple books. The next few were okay, although all the misogyny and rape and torture fetishizing was bothering me. The Temple of the Winds was unintelligible nonsense. I had to stop in disgust and never touch another one of his books again. That is one of maybe 3-4 books I stopped and never finished in the last 20 years. Man it was awful. Plus, most of his ideas were just plagiarized from Robert Jordan. He did have a couple of unique ideas that were cool though.
