Jordan has written 22 books altogether under a couple of pseudonyms (Robert Jordan is a pseudonym as well).
“The Wheel of Time had been banging around in my head before I began writing. I was thinking about the source of legends. Where do they come from? They’re twisted by time. We don’t know what actually happened. It made me think of the children’s game ‘Whispers.’ You know the one—the first kid thinks of something and whispers it to the next kid, and it goes around in the circle, and the last kid has to say out loud what has been told to him, and it’s never what it started out to be. Myths and legends are what the last kid stood up and told.”
