RIP: Robert Jordan (October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007)

At 2.45 PM on September 16 2007, the author of the Wheel of Time series; James Oliver Rigney (Known as Robert Jordan in the writing world), passed away. For years he had been battling a rare blood disease, and had been on treatment. This is a most grievous wound for his family and friends and our wishes and prayers lie with them.

Only a few days ago, I really found out about Robert Jordan, and his amazing series; Wheel of Time. I plan to read this high fantasy sometime in the very near future. Book 12 – the final volume in Wheel of Time, remains uncompleted, but whether someone else will finish it off for Robert is remained to be seen.
