At this point Robert Jordan went into Waldenbooks and was about to sit down, but came back out again and said, “A lot of people ask when will the next book be released. I promise on my mother’s grave the next book will be on the shelves in stores.” At this point some punk kid walking by screamed, “YEAH! I DON’T EVEN READ YOUR DAMN BOOKS! YEAH!” So I could not hear the conclusion to Jordan’s statement. But one of the employees walked over from where Jordan was standing towards my end of the line, so I called her over and asked her what the last part was. She said he finished by saying “when I have finished writing it.”
Once again Jordan left to go sign books, but came back out soon after saying that it was okay to take pictures of him, to have your picture taken with him, but under one rule, men can’t take their clothes off. After this he really did begin the signing.
It took me about 30 minutes to get near to where Jordan was signing (the line moved really fast). I saw two people get their books signed before me. The first young man made a rude comment to Jordan as he walked off, saying, “See you in two years at the next book signing, if the book is out by then.” But Jordan took it in stride and without comment turned his attention to the next person who asked him a question in a whisper, and he received a RAFO. The man seemed upset and asked, “What does that mean?” to which Jordan calmly answered, “It means I don’t want to give away too much of the story.” I handed my two books to his assistant, who got them ready to sign. I was a bit nervous, since the last two guys had been rather curt with Jordan, I wasn’t sure if his mood would have soured. But he wasn’t, in fact one of the things that impressed me the most, was that he was still in a jovial mood. I ended up asking two questions, but they are not story related, but his answers are interesting anyway.
