Interview #154: COT Signing Report - Dan Olin, Entry #11

Harriet McDougal Rigney

A female fan spoke with her briefly, commenting that as a girl she felt somewhat underrepresented in the genre. Mrs. Rigney replied that one thing she appreciated about “The Wheel of Time” was the strong female characters. My own observations of the 100 person crowd was that at least a third were indeed female.

I briefly asked her how Mr. Jordan was enjoying his Porsche. She laughed and commented that he rarely had a chance to take it out, thought “it looked beautiful sitting in the garage.” She stated that in two years it only had 1,400 miles on it.

I also commented that I frequented www.dragonmount.com. She recalled that DM.com personnel had been present at the previous days’ San Jose signing, who were also working on a short film - which may now be “live action”? [Editor’s note: No. At the San Jose book signing we had a camera and we’re interviewing some people for a short video we’re planning to put online. This was not related to the DM movie.)

With that, I thanked her for coming to Menlo Park and for sharing Mr. Jordan’s time with the readers. Mr. Jordan concluded his session by signing approximately 40 of the store’s novels to be included in Kepler’s inventory—so if you stop by soon and look for the “signed by author” sticker on the dust jacket, you may have a signed first-edition of Crossroads of Twilight of your own for normal retail price.
