Because the only evidence I have of encountering him at the local Barnes and Noble yesterday are these two fuzzy photos snapped by my camera phone. Well, that and the two books he signed for me.
Great guy. He spent a lot of time answering the crowd’s questions about A Memory of Light, the last in Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series which he is writing. Many of his questions, due to the non-disclosure he signed in taking on this project, were of the “Read and find out” nature, but he did say he knows who killed Asmodean, he knows how it ends, and everyone we’d want to see in the last book will be in the last book. Other questions answered:
Nothing in the works for any graphic novel adaptions of his work, but he’d be up for it in the future depending on certain factors. A movie option is out on Alcatraz and the Evil Librarians, which would be quite fun, and he’s in development of an epic fantasy series that could end up being about 10 books long. So…he should be nicely busy for the next twenty years, if all goes according to plan.
He’ll also be at Worldcon this week, taking part in a Wheel of Time panel with Tor CEO Tom Doherty. So if you missed him in Denver now, catch him there then.
Thanks for a peek at the wizard behind the curtain, Mr. Sanderson. Twas a grand time.
I see that smile.
