This was the first Wheel of Time book signing ever to occur in Texas, and the fans were certainly excited! People began arriving before 10 AM to secure their places in line. Storm Leader Claire brought a Wheel of Time trivia quiz, crossword, and word search to keep folks entertained until the signing, scheduled for 2:00. During the next few hours, over 200 fans had their books signed. In

In a strategic business move that has the whole publishing industry (not to mention the blogosphere and Twitter) on fire, Amazon.com intentionally de-listed all print and electronic books published by Macmillan, one of the country's six largest book publishers. Tor Books, who publishes The Wheel of Time in the United States, is an imprint of Macmillan, which means that all of their books (including WoT) were taken offline.
The reason for the delisting is due to an on-going feud between Amaz

Every year in the United States there's a popular tournament in which the best college basketball teams compete for the National Championship. The tournament has become known as "March Madness".
Well, even though the Wheel of Time is not basketball (although Rand and his tall Aiel buddies would make one incredible team!) , there are several tournaments going on right now which feature The Wheel of Time.

Now, from a narrative stand-point, we all know there's no possible way Rand would lose such a match. It's laughable. But this contest is determined strictly by popular vote. So...

It was an intense battle up until the final seconds. Over 30,000 votes were cast by fans, but in the end, Rand al'Thor defeated Jaime Lannister and won the suvudu cage match... by less than 200 votes.
