Robert Jordan
James Oliver Rigney Jr. (October 17, 1948 – September 16, 2007), better known by his pen name
Robert Jordan, was an American author of
epic fantasy. He is known best for his series ''
The Wheel of Time'' (finished using Jordan’s notes by
Brandon Sanderson after Jordan's death) which comprises 14 books and a
prequel novel. He is one of several writers to have written original
Conan the Barbarian novels; his are considered by fans to be some of the best of the non-
Robert E. Howard efforts. Jordan also published historical fiction using the pseudonym Reagan O'Neal, a
western as Jackson O'Reilly, and
dance criticism as Chang Lung. Jordan claimed to have
ghostwritten an "international thriller" that is still believed to have been written by someone else.
