Sad News

I just learned some sad news from my friend, Robert Jordan has passed away. He is the author of my favorite series, The Wheel of Time. I have been reading them since 7th grade and I have been re-reading them ever since. His series has not been finished, he was finishing the 12th and last book when he passed away on September 16. Luckily he had told his family how he wanted the book to end and how all the different threads tied into the main story. There is more about him on Wikipedia.com. He also had his own blog page, it is www.dragonmount.com people would talk to him, but now they can talk to his wife.
The new book is called A Memory of Light and is said it might be 1500 pages. He wanted to wrap it all up in one book; he said that the publishing company will have to invent a new way of binding, or the book will come with a cart of its own.
Im really sad that he is gone, but Im glad he went peacefully and with no pain. I hope the book is everything he wants it to be.

Rest in Peace Robert Jordan (a.k.a James Rigney)
