Welcome, Robert! We’re thrilled to have you with us here. Why do you think “The Wheel of Time” series has struck such a chord with fantasy readers? Do you have any speculations about its amazing popularity?
No, I don’t really. I write stories…I try to write stories about real people. I’m really glad the books are popular. But, I don’t really have any clue why they’re so popular, except possibly the fantasy element. I think that we have a real need for fantasy as human beings. Actually Terry Pratchett says it quite clearly. He says that by believing in things that don’t exist, we set ourselves up to believe in other things that don’t exist such as justice and mercy.
