well shoot
First madeleine L'engle and now Robert Jordan. Jordan Died yesterday the 16th at 2:45 pm leaving the Wheel of Time series unfinished. This is up there with Herbert Dying before he finished book 7 of Dune. L'engle's passing was tragic but at least she didn't leave behind an unfinished 12 book series. they're saying that they may try and complete book 12 based on his notes but it just wouldn't be the same.
why do authors have to die? and if they do have to die why can't they finish writing their books first?

I suppose there would then be the odd author who kept a few unfinished books lying around, just to ensure their own immortality...
Katz- the 12th book was substantially complete. Although it won't be the same as if Jordan wrote the entirety, there is enough background, etc. to complete the series in a way that satisfies.
I know you'll never read this comment, but I just wanted to say L'Engle did leave behind a book, it's called The Eye Begins to See and it was going to be about Meg when she's 40 and tell more about the secret mission that Charles Wallace is on that is alluded to by Polly O'Keefe several times in the books. Now we'll never know.
