Author James Oliver Rigney Jr. who wrote the massive Wheel of Time series under the pen name Robert Jordan died Sunday of rare blood disease at the age of 58.
A previous posting on “Jordan’s” Dragonmount blog and in comments to the announcement of Rigney’s death on the Making Light blog mention that he was writing and dictating details about the final book in the Wheel of Times series until his death. Hopefully his family and publishers can choose a suitable author to finish the work.
