Another great leaves us

Time goes on, people get older, and we are left with the next generation. It is nothing new in history, but each time it is new to us.

Author Robert Jordan passed September 16, 2007 at about 2:45 pm. He was 58.

I've never read anything by Jordan, but I'm probably one of the few that haven't. He wrote Three books in the Fallon series (1980-1982), seven Conan books (1982-1984) and elevenbooks in the Wheel of Time series (starting in 1990). The twelth and last book remains unfinished, though it is reported that he had been working on it and communicated the major plot points to his family, so hopefully his work will be completed.

That is one fear I have. Supposing I ever get published, it would be tough to know that you may not finish your story the way you want it finished.

"The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning." The Wheel of Time series.
