IS IT TRUE?? Did he really die? I got an email this morning from Vantid, and I can’t believe it… anyone here know more??
‘fraid so. You can check this link to a post made by his cousin:
Oh, wow! That is very sad. I didn’t even know he was sick.
Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmHe’s been sick for a long time. He almost didn’t finish his last book which came out last year. Of course now the series will never be finished…I think he’s said that he doesn’t want anyone else to write in his world.
Very sad indeed….hopefully he left enough to be published somehow. It would be a shame for his fans to never know how it ends…
He wrote The Wheel of Time series – about as complicated as you can get. I read the first 3 years ago and then some person felt it necessary to tell me “oh, so and so dies in the next book” 👿 So I waited and then forgot every character – I have to restart from the beginning. He was wrapping up the series – I think there was only supposed to be one more. 😥
Truly one of the great fantasy writers.
Thanks, Jasmine!
Gosh… I remember hearing he was sick, but I didn’t realize how extensively. I’m going to miss him–that series is one of my favorites… First Madeleine L’Engle, now this. I just hope Ursula K. LeGuin lives long enough for me to get a chance (somehow) to meet her… She is also getting up there if I recall correctly.
Waah, all my favorite writers are dying! It’s a good thing the written word is essentially immortal. But I do wish Jordan had gotten a chance to finish the series!
🙁 No,nononononooooo
I can’t believe this. I’m so bummed now. It feels like all the characters have died with him. 🙁According to the article I read this morning, Robert left a detailed outline and a good portion of the final book written, and arranged for a ghost writer to finish it. So even though he can’t, we will see the final book in print.
So don’t despair just yet. Though I knew his publisher letting him write those Conan series before finishing Wheel was a bad idea.
Anyway, it’s a sad loss, but his work will live on, and hopefully we can get our paws on that final book soon.
