About the prequels/sequels, there was no big news. Sanderson ‘strongly advised’ Harriet not to have them written—but if she thinks otherwise, he wants to write them. He said (contrary to what he implied before—or at least what fans understood of what he was saying) that it’s not really a matter of money. The ‘huge advances’ and new contracts Tom Doherty showered Jim with came about out of personal friendship for him because the Rigneys needed help with Jim’s escalating medical expenses and it was also Doherty’s way to tell Jordan he had faith he would pull through and live to write many more books for him. He’s apparently telling Harriet not to worry about those advances or to let that influence her decisions. According to Brandon, it’s the three outriggers Doherty is trying very hard to convince Harriet to have written, and the motive is quite personal: RJ sold him hard on the ideas for this trilogy and Doherty is apparently the biggest Mat Cauthon fan on the planet, so he wants these books written very very badly. Brandon would still prefer they were not. Harriet doesn’t want to think about them for the moment.
