From The Post and Courier:
Charleston novelist James Oliver Rigney Jr., 58, known to millions of readers by the pen name Robert Jordan, the best-selling author of “The Wheel of Time” fantasy series, died Sunday after a fight with the rare blood disease amyloidosis, a progressive disorder first diagnosed in December 2005 at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Ouch, I always thought the jokes about not starting his “Wheel of Time” series until he had finished them in case of an untimely death were just that, jokes.
