Robert Jordan Has Amyloidosis

Locus Online has posted a letter from Jim Rigney (who writes as Robert Jordan) about his medical condition. It sounds very serious, but Rigney is upbeat about it (I hope with good reason).

That great sucking sound you hear is several million "Wheel of Time" fans all taking a deep breath at once. I'm no believer in the power of prayer, but if the good wishes of strangers can help anyone, this would be the case.

It doesn't look like there's anything that anyone else can do directly, but I know my best wishes are with Rigney and his friends and family, and I'm sure they're joined by the best wishes of everyone in the SFF world.
