One of my favorite fantasy authors died…

Sep.19, 2007 in Reading, Writing

Robert Jordan (*) died this past week of “complications from primary amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (*).” I’m sorry for his friends and family. Selfishly, I realize that I’ve read over 11,000 pages of his fiction and I will never know how the Wheel of Time series will end.

“….I will never know how the Wheel of Time series will end.”
Do any of us really know how it will end?

CK,

Actually, I’ve read that he left extensive notes, and that the last book will be published, finished by another author.

It dang well better be!
