Team Jordan

I've written before about my friend Jim Rigney better known as the international bestselling fantasy writer Robert Jordan and his great epic The Wheel of Time. Jim was not only one of the most important writers of our time, he was a warm, funny, brilliant friend. On the Tor website I found a fascinating video with Jim's team who worked with him during his life and have carried on afterward. Jim's wonderful widow and editor Harriet McDougal also talks about how she decided that writer Brian Sanderson was the man to finish the saga. For those of you unfamiliar with The Wheel of Time, this is an inside look at how at Jim wrote one of the finest epics of all time.
