Author Robert Jordan Died

[naturestee]

I don't know if anyone else read his books, but Robert Jordan, author of the very awesome Wheel of Time series, died Sunday at the age of 58. I knew he had been ill for a while, and it sounded like he was trying to finish up the series so it could have an end. Now we will never know.

This would be like J. K. Rowling dying before the Harry Potter books were finished, except this is a longer, more complex, and very in-depth fantasy series. Pure genius.

Ack! I was just going to start reading that series ...

They're still really good books. Maybe we'll be lucky and he left notes for the last book so someone else can finish it.

I'm stilltrying to absorb this news. Because of this man, I met and married my husband, immigrated to Canada and now have a daughter. All because years and years ago I picked up a series. It's such a loss.

I'm a member at TV.net and ToL (if anyone here knows of them). Tar Valon is the largest Wheel of Time community around and I'm proud that I've been there going on five years this January.
