For many years now I have been on the record stating that there were certain authors that I would just not read period until they were done with the series. Some of the arguments were of course “but they said in X interview that they are not writing another book in the series.” or something similar. Several of the authors on this list include Steven King, Robert Jordan, and recently added J.K. Rowling. Well it is finally happened, the Wheel of Time series is officially on the “Mostly safe to read now” list.
On Sunday Sept 16th, 2007 James Oliver Rigney Jr. better known by his pen name Robert Jordan passed away from Cardiac Amyloidosis. It is reported that he was working on his 12th and final volume of his Wheel of Time novel. Rest in Peace. You had a good run.
