Will the series EVER END?
Edit: I swear, my wife is karmic poison. This was her question. She’s a huge fan of the Wheel of Time but wants some resolution.
Don’t mind the downvoters, Warlizard. I’m sure people just are worried about me taking offense. They forget that I’ve been involved as a fan with this series for twenty years. I’ve felt the feeling you express several times during my history with the WoT—and I bet most of us have.
It WILL END. I am about halfway through the final book. I have told Harriet that I would prefer that we not do any more books, as to not exploit RJ’s legacy. Even if she decided to do those (the other two prequels RJ mentioned, for example) the real ending to the series is here.
Also, on another note, I’ve watched many of your posts and been interested in your publishing experiences. I find that you often have very useful things to say, and are a real strength to the reddit writing/publishing community. I don’t always agree with you, but what you bring is very engaging. So thank you for what you do. I’m going to have to read one of your books, eventually. (I’m sorry that I haven’t gotten to them yet.)
Thanks for the response. Just told my wife and she said, “Oh thank GOD!” It’s a bit like watching Star Wars, having Empire finish up, then waiting 6 more books to find out if Darth Vader is REALLY his father.
I know there has to be vast pressure to continue writing books and not just because of the financial aspects. People want to read them more about that universe and it’s hard to deny them that.
I don’t mind the downvotes. Reddit has been pretty good to me and I wouldn’t have put out any of my stories if the feedback hadn’t been so strong and persistent. I always give away the books to Redditors first and put ‘em up on Amazon second as a way of saying thanks.
I appreciate your kind words and if you’d like a copy of anything I’ve written, please feel free to PM me an email address were I can send them.
