Robert Jordan's real name is Roland Green and has been a sci-fi fantasy author for over 20 years. He was originally going to make the wheel of time series into a 7 book series but that changed when the publishers saw the popularity of the series sky rocket the way it did. You can tell when this decision was made in the 4th book by how Jordan stretches out the imagery etc and starts to lose focus. Now dont get me wrong, I really like the series but you can tell he lost his focus for a little bit and has had to work hard to get it back. This series is slated to be a 10 book series but with how the plot line has developed (I wont go into details) I think there has been another adjustment in the book length. My opinion is that he had a great start on these books but really needs to tighten up the series so that there is plot movement forward rather than another meandering through his world...
