Interview #114: Locus Magazine Interview, Entry #7

Robert Jordan

The new book, the ninth in ‘The Wheel of Time’, is Winter’s Heart . I am aiming to finish it by May of 2000. If the publisher does what it normally does, Tor should have it out two months after I finish it. If they really want to be leisurely, they’ll wait three months. The last three books they’ve had in the bookstore within 60 days after I handed them in. They give the book to their copy editor and she goes to her apartment, unplugs her telephone, stuffs sweat sox in her doorbell, and goes to the back of her apartment so she can’t even hear anybody knocking on the door, and just works straight through to get this done. And Harriet and I go to New York and sit in a hotel room so we can get the copy-edited version back. We’ve got two laptops, and we’re passing disks back and forth.
