In the hubbub of reworking this blog, working on a different one (under a different name), looking for a "real" job and readjusting to life in North Carolina, I completely missed the news that Robert Jordan died on September 16.
James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (Robert Jordan's real name) was the author of my favorite Fantasy series - The Wheel of Time. Click here for his official blog. Or follow the link the in side bar.
Wow. I just don't know what to say. Sadly my first thought was Did he finish the series?? Not exactly a sympathetic and selfless reaction. I hope he accomplished in this life what he wanted and that his friends and family are coping well.
Perhaps I'll re-read the series in his honor. Rest in Peace, Jim, may you write as many novels as you wish too, in your next life.
