writer dies

James Oliver Rigney Jr, a.k.a. Robert Jordan, the beloved author of The Wheel of Time series, died Sunday. Jordan died of a rare blood disease at the age of 58. This is a sad time for his wife and for his readers. For his readers, they are probably even more upset that Jordan died while writing the final installment of the series, book 12. Jordan will now never have the opportunity to finish his epic fantasy where Rand al'Thor takes on "ultimate evil."
