For Jordan, Fantasy Remains Fertile Field
[Released on Jan. 7, Robert Jordan’s Crossroads of Twilight immediately hit No. 1 on USA TODAY’s best-selling books list.]
The “brag shelf” at Robert Jordan’s Charleston, S.C., home has expanded to a huge bookcase, groaning with foreign-language editions. That’s an occupational hazard when your fantasy best sellers have been translated into 24 languages. Jordan has 15 million books in print in North America alone. Book 10 of The Wheel of Time series hit stores Jan. 7: Crossroads of Twilight (Tor, $29.95) immediately hit No. 1 on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list last week. Set in a mythic land, the series explores the battle of good vs. evil and the looming threat of “the Dark One.”
Jordan, 54, confesses he has thought about putting some foreign editions away. His wife, Harriet, will not hear of it. Jordan listens; she has been editing his work for longer than their 22-year marriage.
