When did you first meet James Rigney?
He was invited to my wedding, but I don’t think he was there; Harriet was. I first met him in 1994, when my father-in-law died and Harriet and Jim hosted a reception for the family after the funeral. I was really proud because I didn’t go all fangirl on him, but I did talk to him and tell him how much I enjoyed the books.
And when did you get involved with The Wheel of Time?
In 1996, my husband ran into Harriet on the street and said “Do you know anybody who needs an editor?” because I had worked as an editor before. She said “No, but we could use help with fan-mail and filing.” So we ran into them at a cocktail party later that week, Jim and I sized each other up, and I started working twelve hours a week in January 1996.
