Just to let you know that the 12th and final book in the Wheel of Time series called ‘The Memory of Light’ will be written by the American author Brandon Sanderson.

Before his death, Robert Jordan had started writing the final book and also wrote copious notes about the plot which he passed on to both Brandon and his wife.

According to his website, the final book will be published in the fall of 2009.

I often wondered how the late Robert Jordan managed to keep control of the details and timelines in his epic Wheel of Time series. He had hundreds of characters spread across the world and very few glitches as far as I could tell.

If you think that herding cats is difficult then you should try herding ants.

Yes, sometimes I have minor quarrels with characters who don’t want to do what they’re told, and we kind of have to negotiate terms. A particularly bad offender is a certain character named hrugaar … 😀
