Jordan’s books have been called a combination of Robin Hood and Stephen King. He manages to create characters that seem real, perhaps because he uses many of his own personal experiences in the telling of these epic stories. Do you ever use your experiences in Vietnam in your stories?
Yes, indirectly. I know what it’s like to have somebody trying to kill you. I know what it’s like to try to kill somebody. And I know what it’s like to actually kill somebody. These things I think help with writing about people being in danger, [or] especially if it’s in danger of violence … which happens occasionally in my books.
