Interview #508: JordanCon: Interview with Maria Simons by Richard Fife, Entry #4

Richard Fife

What was it like working with Jim and doing the filing for him?

Maria Simons

It was great to work for Jim. We started off just doing fan-mail and filing. He was finishing up A Crown of Swords , and he wouldn’t let me help copyedit because he didn’t want to spoil me. But, as time went on, I convinced him to let me organize his notes: that is when I found out the truth about Verin. And when The Path of Daggers came along, he let me work on it.

And he was great. He’d come in singing in the morning, he would say thank you, and he bought me cookies. If I made a mistake on anything, he didn’t fuss and yell, he just said “Fix it.” He was just fabulous to work for, and Harriet is too.
