Anyone read Robert Jordan here?

Was wondering. I am a big fan of his. Just found out about his death. He passed away almost 20 days ago. I didnt check his site in that time, and so, didn't know.


For those interested:

Robert Jordan was the pen name of James Oliver Rigney, Jr. (October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007), under which he was best known as the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time fantasy series. He also wrote under the name Reagan O'Neal. He died September 16, 2007 from complications due to cardiac amyloidosis

HE DIED?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

That just sucks. I was so looking forward to the last book of the Wheel of Time. It looks like he was prepared for the worst, and now it's up to his widow and Tor whether the end of his saga will ever be completed and published.

His wife Harriet was is his primary editor. So dont suppose that hthe writing style would be too hard to mimic. And she does know the full story. I know that knowing the full story as a draft and knowing it all in words is a different thing, but it is still something to hope for.
It really sounds like story book ending. Army guy retiring from wound, telling great tales, dying just after telling his wiofe for the infinite time that he loes her.

In his own owns words, Let his soul find shade and water.
