Not really sure how this slipped past us, but Hunter Wentworth has been diligently raising for his Robert Jordan documentary. With only three days left on his deadline, he’s within several hundred dollars of his goal. Let’s see if we can get him over the top. |

In a new short documentary focusing on Charleston writers, filmmaker Hunter Wentworth had the opportunity to interview Robert Jordan at his home just a few months before he passed away. The footage from the interview is wonderful; you can see clearly how, even in his final days, RJ presented himself with dignity and his clever wit. The complete documentary is available below. Before viewing, please read this message from the producer:
Thank you, Hunter, for sharing this with everyone. (Be sure to watch until the last few seconds!) |

Amazon.com is now accepting pre-orders for the 2009 Wheel of Time Calendar. This calendar is being published by Tor Books as the result of the competition that Robert Jordan himself began before he passed away. RJ hand-chose the winning entries just weeks before he passed. Proceeds from this calendar will be going to the Mayo Clinic charity fund to research cures for Amyloidosis, the disease Robert Jordan fought in his last days. More Info |
