What’s going to happen to the Wheel of Time series now that Robert Jordan has passed away?

Does anyone know if the series is being continued or if the next book was completed before Mr. Jordan died? I’ve heard that he left extensive notes for someone to be able to continue the series, but I’m not sure if that’s true or not.

Before Robert Jordan died he left notes and recorded the end of the book. Someone else will have to write it but at least we know how he wanted it to end.

From Wikipedia:

His cousin Wilson stated in Robert Jordan’s blog that the story has gone into either word processor or audio, and that Jordan’s wife Harriet and Wilson have now heard the entire story. They plan on publishing Memory of Light per Jordan’s wishes.

Did you see the movie “Heavenly Creatures” with Kate Winslet?

Did you know this was a true story and that the character of Juliet (Winslet) is based on mystery writer Anne Perry? She helped her best friend kill her mother when she was a teenager. Interesting stuff.

Wow – I saw this – one of Peter Jackson’s early works with the chick from Two and a Half Men. It was pretty intense. Didn’t know it was based on some truth. WOW….

Which Marion Zimmer Bradley book first?

I really want to start reading Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Avalon series but I don’t know where to begin. I know Mists of Avalon was written first but other books seem to be prequels. Can anyone recommend the best order to read the books in? Thanks!

Mists is definitely the first as you already know.
I have read this whole series, in fact, they have caused me to read ANYTHING that I can get my hands on by MZB, but I can honestly tell you that it doesn’t matter in which order you read the prequels, as there are references to all the non-Mists characters throughout all of these books.
If I could change the order in which I read them, it would be to read “Ancestors of Avalon” and “The Fall of Atlantis after Mists,
and then Forest House, Ravens of Avalon,Lady of Avalon, and lastly Priestess of Avalon.
Hope that helps.
