MAG021, Freefall
Case #0022010, Moira Kelly
Release date: May 26, 2016
First listen: 16th October, walk into work. Out in the countryside with nothing but farmland and a big ol’ sky with the sun coming up.
…. The sky just… ATE A DUDE FAM!… What am I meant to do with that!?
The Vast is a strange one for me. I am a country girl first and foremost, I love being need the sea and I get antsy if I go too long without seeing the curvature of the earth or at least a decent horizon line. Having said that, if I spend a second too long thinking about the emptiness of space and/or the deep ocean, I will stun lock myself. The Vast and The Buried have a profound effect on me in different directions because they just. Don’t. Care.
This statement has a bit of a different tone that I don’t think we’ve heard before. It’s a statement of someone recounting what I am going to call the inciting incident that happened to someone else. Why Moira was there to see the event and have that encounter with The Vast as a witness, she was essentially collateral in her son's story. It could be argued that Timothy Hodge of MAG006 is doing something similar, relaying Harriet’s ‘mugging’ by The Flesh Hive that led to her death, but there’s a different weight to this, this isn’t recounting something told to you by a near stranger. This is a mother mourning her son in a state of fear and confusion. I think it’s also one of the first statements that deals with a grief like this.
Yes, Naomi Herne, I said that with a full chest.
- But I think Moira's opening passage of the statement does give an indication of what she is dealing with. She says it ‘doesn’t make any sense’, that it makes her ‘head hurt awfully’ whenever she tried to think of it. Psychologists and other specialists, please chime in, but I’ve given to believe that PTSD can induce headaches. Although Moira's encounter was with The Vast, by proxy, I think the confusion and grief could play her more into the hands of The Spiral or The End. She does ask if she’s mad, doubting her own mental faculties as she appears says ‘it can’t have happened.’ However, as she describes her life, I think she’ll be picked up by The Lonely not too long after the loss of Robert.
- I had a look for Althorpe, Lincolnshire, as I grew up on that side of the UK and I was at a weird little border between 3 counties, Lincolnshire being one of them. Turns out, we’re at almost opposite ends of the county. But like Robert, I spent a lot of my childhood in the wild places, fields rather than woods and alone rather than with friends. waves a hand to aggressively bat away the looming spectre of Peter Lukas
- I’m looking at this kid and I can’t help but think he and Mr Timothy Stoker would have gotten on like a house on fire. Adventure holidays, and yes, I subscribe to the kayaking agenda, volunteering with charities.
- ‘...to the point where I wondered where he was getting the money...’ I would not be the first to draw connections between The Entities and how they can be allegories for capitalism and systems of oppression, but The Vast and Simon Fairchild in particular, are held in a certain light in my mind in connection to late stage capitalism and mega wealth. I have a whole essay on it that I’ll write one day, it’s currently a voice memo in dodgylogic’s inbox. But I think the sinking of time and money into this lifestyle, much the same way Laura Popham did with caving in MAG015, means that a potential victim is less likely to walk away before they’re primed for harvesting. The fear probably tastes different if it’s a seasoned pro having their world, the world were they’re competent and comfortable, betray them.
- I have absolutely no idea how long it takes to become a ‘fully qualified skydiving instructor’ and I think this is either a case of ‘I’m over thinking it’ or ‘yes kid, it’s painfully obvious, everyone had worked that out’ but they way he talks about the company and the job before he reveals he’s qualified… I’m reading it as the company approached him, recruited him and put him through the training. So they’re going to be a sense of commitment and obligation there on his part. They’re moulding him to be prime for the picking.
- ‘After that, I didn’t see him much. He was home for Christmas and Mother’s Day, if I was lucky...’ Feels like The Vast is pulling him one way and The Lonely pulling her the other.
- ‘Before he’d said anything I took him inside, sat him down and started to run a hot bath. Whatever had happened, I told him, could wait until he’d gotten himself together.’ Bless this woman, best mum.
- So Fairchild is supposedly doing this jump ‘in memory of his wife.’ I mean, obviously a cover, but do we ever hear of Fairchild actually having a wife or is this just an unpleasant little detail seeing as Moira had become a widow recently and was about to lose her son?
- I don’t like Simon. I hate pretty much all the Avatars with a few exceptions, but I don’t hate them equally. I do not like Simon Fairchild. I don’t like how he’s smiles and jokes and is all personable just before the act. I don’t like how we see in a later statement he can turn tempestuous when he’s defied. I don’t like him.
- Do we actually ever hear from Harriet Fairchild again? And actually, while we get Harriet Fairchild, Robert’s colleague and presumably the Fairchild representation in the business, we don’t get a confirmed connection between her and Simon in the body of the statement do we? Robert doesn’t know Simon as a Fairchild. For all the good it would do him.
- ‘Enjoy sky blue’… Well, that’s not ominous at all. The grammatical delivery just makes it all the more threatening.
- After his moment of dizziness, what if he’d sat down and not jumped out the plane? Would he have returned to the airfield as the plane just continued on, or was it already too late and was he stuck up there until he leapt?
- It’s hard for me to describe what I think I’m feeling when Robert describes that the ground is gone but I think it echoes in the realisation that Earth is gone in MAG057. It’s one of fear, but the fear is that of such a terrible loss, rather than fear for my own person. It’s a loss of everything that was. I’m not sure I can explain it well presently.
- Even though Moira ‘wasn’t sure (she) believed all what he was saying’ she still has the utmost care for her boy, looking after him as best she can. She asks ‘him how long he’d been falling’ and I love that there’s no ‘how do you think you’d been falling’. She doesn’t demand evidence or explanation.
- Harriet is an interesting one to me. We hear she was ‘surprised by how long it had taken him to get down’, but she is a Fairchild. Do the Fairchilds operate as a clan the same way the Lukas’ do? Is it just Simon who has any real power and the rest rally around? Has Simon cultivated a family as a cover, impact on ageing be damned? Does Harriet even know she’s feeding people to her weird Grandpa’s weird god?
- ‘I tried to talk him through his problems and his feelings...’ Moira tried, bless her. And she was making the same mental connections as any reasonable person would make in her stead.
- This statement just makes me so sad. This mother was doing her best to comfort her child after he’d been through a horrific ordeal she couldn’t understand. He was back recovering in the family home. She planned a calm and wholesome outing for the pair of them. I could be coaxed out of so many a terrible situation by my mum suggesting a walk and a picnic. This statement stings because it feels like such a violation of trust and an invasion of known and well trod territory; a career that Robert loved and was excelling in, a grassy beauty spot near the family home. Wide open spaces speak of opportunity and room to grow and change and I hate Simon Fairchild so much for robbing folk of that joy.
- ‘That last hour was one of the happiest I’d ever spent with my son.’ weeping
- ‘…he just screamed and pushed me away.’ I’d like to think this was an act to try and save her and draw whatever it was away. I hope it was. I can’t be sure.
- And the sky… ate him. Whatever had happened in Doncaster had followed him to his mother’s. It hadn’t struck in the moment or as he was reeling from the encounter, it waited until he was recovering, until the fear had receded, before moving in to strike. It was a waiting game. It had hunted him. Any time he was under the open sky, he was fair game.
- And so Open Skydiving never existed as an operating company. The Fairchilds, like the Lukas, seem to have a handle on business and corporations, so it’s just a shell company or front or whatever the correct term is. This leads me to believe Robert was recruited by them and the training was done in house, forging documentation and licenses as to not get governing bodies involved. Robert probably couldn’t believe his luck. Not long after graduation in the late 90s, and he’s recruited into a job and field he’s passionate about, the company sees to all his training. I can’t help but draw on the ‘army recruiter at a high school’ analogy I had a while back, I wonder how much of the decision was steered by the presence of student debt and slim job opportunities.
- There are new paper mentions about Open Skydiving a few years before the event takes place but the Archivist doesn’t divulge any details.
- ‘Tim really outdid himself here.’ I’m so proud of him. The Assistances are such hard working beans, I love them. They do such a good job.
- ‘In fact, for the four years prior, it’s hard to find any evidence for Robert Kelly’s existence at all.’ Open Skydiving just… housing and moving him. Walking larder, keeping him close.
- And in comes Martin.

Embroidery
Sketchbook page
It was difficult to come up with idea for my sample. But I became inspired by Harriet Popham , an artist who specialises in free hand embroidery and print. Then influenced by the colours and the design of the train, also how the platform is build. I layered and did hand free embroidery machine to fixe them together, and printed the train ticket to support the ideas.
This was successful because the sample colours I choose communicate to my primary image of my narrative.

FAS3000 - Artist #2 - Harriet Popham
Following from our presentation, an artist that stood out to me was Harriet Popham, who specialises in free hand embroidery and print. I enjoyed their idea of replicating old written messages, using free hand machine embroidery. It comes across very meaningful and tells a story of their artwork.
This is a potential idea I would like to try as I have an idea of using written messages from my birthday cards i have from family and friends and use them to make some embroidery samples. This would connect well to my narrative idea of looking into family relationships.

I read Normal People approximately a year ago. I was feeling low at the time and this book and these characters filled me up.
I have never loved a book to screen adaptation more than Normal People.
I’m so in love with it that I purchased this beautiful print from harrietpopham.com She has more beautiful prints as well, definitely check her out, she’s also @harrietpopham on Instagram

im starting to realize there’s a bunch of connections going on between tma episodes.. i dont know what it Means yet and dont tell me!!!!! ill get there!! but. hmmm. im going through the transcripts after i listen to them to make sure i didnt miss things/checking the details and i just. Keep Finding More Shit, it’s all connected, i feel like there’s something huge going on behind all these and i Do Not Know what it is yet
this is. very long and disjointed i went through all the transcripts for every episode ive listened to so far and kept noticing more things
like Don’t Tell Me if im right or wrong ill find out im just gathering thoughts. setting up my little conspiracy board. red strings everywhere
- firstly theres an obvious running thread going about the cursed jurgen leitner books, gerard keay, the. worms. and jane prentiss
- carlos vittery in Arachnophobia mentions offhand that his complex had an infestation of “small, silvery worms” which passed right over my head the first time but looking at it again thATS THE FUCKIGN WORMS!!!! and martin found. Probably Jane in the basement of that same complex. so. well, (that also means like Who Knows how many people in that building might have gotten infected) (i also wonder whether the spiders might actually be Good, if the worms are hideous parasites maybe the spiders are showing up to eat them/get rid of them, martin says he likes spiders, the spiders almost definitely killed vittery but he was violently trying to wipe them out so maybe it was a greater good kind of thing) (or they’re just spiders and dont have that level of comprehension and like the nasty silver worms. either way)
- there’s also a lot of Foretelling Of Death but i dont want to go through and list all of those rn
- in Anglerfish, there was some kind of. shadowy hand thing beckoning people into the darkness. Amy Patel in Across The Street describes seeing a similar shadowy hand thing reaching into Graham’s apartment before his. replacement. both of these are described as “folding” in on themselves/moving in a really unnatural way. smoking was also mentioned in both but i havent really been following that as a symbol very closely. possible link with Fire? i dont know
- Repetition. Graham was obsessively filling hundreds of notebooks with the words “Keep Watching,” mary keay’s skin was completely covered in unreadable script tattoos, the paper found by the garbage men was the Lord’s prayer written in latin over and over again, ivo lensik’s father became completely obsessed with fractals and couldn’t stop drawing them. the unnamed burned man in First Aid repeats an unclear phrase over and over again. gerard keay is also covered in tattoos of eyes in First Aid, which was not mentioned before (though probably wouldn’t have been visible before)
- Graham was convinced he was being watched/followed by Something, harriet was concerned about being followed after she was attacked by prentiss (which. matches with martin’s experience too, though he was much more fortunate), vittery was followed by The Spider, lensik’s father also believed Something was coming for him (and “all the bones are in his hands” sounds very. leitner), and there was. whatever approaching darkness was coming after robert montauk, as well
- Graham has a weirdly hypnotic table, the first Leitner book found by dominic swain had oddly vertigo-inducing woodcuttings, gerard keay’s eye painting is similarly hypnotic, lensik finds a box in the old tree with the same hypnotic carvings on it
- not sure if the Spider Apple has any relation to the Arachnophobia episode, but, there’s that, also
- swain’s book had an image of the sky, which he described felt like you would “fall into it” if you looked at it for too long, and robert kelly sort of “fell into the sky” in Freefall. laura popham describes a sense of being swallowed up by the earth in Lost Johns’ Cave, as well
- same theme of becoming “lost” in Lost Johns’ Cave and in Alone, similar concepts of being consumed by the earth
- i dont think its necessarily related to anything else as far as i know but just wanted to mention also i didn’t process the... extra audio recording in Lost Johns’ Cave correctly, i thought she was saying “help me, help me, please help me” which was unnerving, but didn’t really seem all that critical to add, until looking at the transcripts i realized it was “take her, not me” which was a HUGE punch to the gut when i discovered it lmao. dont ask how i managed to mishear that badly but i am very very bad at auditory processing which is why im reading all these scripts to make sure i didnt process them wrong
- Graham mentions he’s gay, and the man who had the dream about gertrude mentions having broken up with his boyfriend, Graham. jon doesn’t comment on this and it’s not necessarily the same graham, and im not sure what the significance is if it is, but it seems like an odd coincidence if it isn’t. “antonio” doesn’t go into detail about why they broke up, but mentions they had been living together
- the name Joshua Gillespie stands out to me for some reason, like I’ve heard “gillespie” somewhere before, but I haven’t noticed it coming up again in any of the transcripts unless I just missed it. could just be that my brain decided to Remember that name for no reason though. he’s the guy with the coffin
- jon mentions this, but Breekon and Hope deliveries were responsible both for the weird coffin and the yellow stole from the incident with father burroughs
- there’s a major ongoing theme of Fire and Burning, both just in general, and a more specific Fire With No Apparent Source thing continuously happening. the prayer paper in the trash had been burned, timothy hodge burned his apartment after the Worms Incident (and martin mentions noticing one of the worms looked slightly burnt - maybe it survived the fire and returned to jane?), sgt. berry was “distinctively marked” by an incident with a flamethrower, the vampires are supposedly very very vulnerable to fire, raymond fielding’s house burned down and his. ghost? disappears with a burning smell and a burnt spot on the floor, lensik experiences an intense, unbearable heat with no clear cause soon after the encounter with raymond, which father burroughs also experiences in his account. the mysterious coffin in Do Not Open had an unnatural heat to it. gerard keay burns the leitner book and picks up the still-smoldering ashes but isn’t concerned with the heat, and then appears again as one of the burned men in First Aid, having apparently experienced second-degree burns on every inch of his skin, but had completely undamaged clothes. the nurse describes feeling a burning sensation when the chanting starts, but dismisses it as a nervous reaction, then experiences the. boiling drink bottles and the burning hot door handles. she says she could feel a burning heat from gerard’s hand. the burned man’s body immediately self-cremates when gerard kills him. lee rentoul also gives specifically a lighter to angela for her Piecemeal curse, though that might be coincidental. he does burn the first box after he discovers it, though
- the garbage man describes the last Weird Trash as “tied off with a dark green ribbon, arranged in a bow like an old-fashioned Christmas present” - which contained a copper heart, possibly symbolizing alan’s real heart, with the rest of his body never being found. this matches both with robert montauk’s killings and the cursed boxes from angela’s curse- “brown paper and string, like an old-fashioned Christmas present.” there was also the weird thing with raymond’s hand, but im not sure that’s related
the vampires’ victims bodies also seemed to disappear, not sure that’s related either
- jon confirms that the pendant julia describes (the one belonging to her mother and also her father’s last victim) is a symbol of the People’s Church of the Divine Host cult. wondering if this is related to what father burroughs experienced. gerard keay is searching for a lost pendant in First Aid, but its design is unclear, and he describes it as brass. unsure if related. the fact that gerard’s tattoos/etc were of eyes, and the other pendant is of a closed eye, while one is made of brass and the other of silver seems like there might be some connection though even if it isn’t the same one. there didn’t seem to be any burning involved with the montauk case, anyway
then there’s. this entire thing im just gonna paste it here, from sebastian adekoya in the Boneturner’s Tale:
“Books are amazing, aren’t they? I mean, when you think about what they really are. People don’t give the actuality of language the weight it deserves, I feel. Words are a way of taking your thoughts, the very make-up of yourself, and giving them to another. Putting your thoughts in the mind of someone else. They are not a perfect method, of course, as there’s plenty of scope for mutation and corruption between your mind and that of the listener, but that doesn’t change the essence of what language is.
Spoken aloud, though, the thought dies quickly if not picked up. Simple vibrations that vanish almost as soon as they are created, though if they find a host, then they can lodge there, proliferate, and maybe spread further. Still, it is not a reliable method in terms of a thought’s endurance, as humans are fragile creatures, and rarely last a century.”
this definitely seems relevant to jurgen leitner (and this is. one of the episodes about a leitner book, so) it definitely seems likely that he’s spreading some kind of.... Belief or Self or Power or Something through his books, possibly even his own consciousness is within them somehow, or at least the consciousness of Something or Someone. the man with all the bones in his hands. taking bones and warping them. bones appearing in the pages but Wrong. might be related to the bag of teeth, too, hundreds of All The Same Tooth
definitely something to the... immortalization of thoughts/memories/Consciousness through written word, especially when we consider the words literally tattooed into mary keay’s skin/the book possibly bound in her skin. i cant put a coherent thought together on this but its definitely... important, i think
sebastian also for some reason specifically mentions he was holding a copy of Stephen King’s Misery in the confrontation with Jared’s mother, which is a story about an author being forced to write something against his will/words that aren’t really his own, to appease someone else, which. seems like it might be relevant somehow too, maybe. the fact that it was named specifically when it wasn’t apparently relevant to the story seems interesting

Saturday 14th March- lino cut workshop.
Had a very fun morning making and printing lino cuts with Somerset artist Harriet Popham. I love Harriet’s work for its use of pattern, texture and colour and her fabulous lino cuts. Getting to spend a morning with her enthusiasm and talent was amazing.
Firstly we made smaller individual lino cut stamps before moving on to larger scenes. To link with my FMP project, I used a photo of a swan I took at Shapwick as a reference and created the block from this. The lino is cut into three pieces to create the block for each colour- blue, black and orange. I think it needs a little refinement and definitely some better prints but I’m really pleased with how it’s looking already.

Furniture Showcase-
After looking at portfolios and ways to layout my designs with inspiration from individuals such as Harriet Popham I decided to attempt to do the same however i had some difficulties putting it all together especially with the wallpaper design.
I had many struggles with trying to showcase my design as a wallpaper as it looks very cropped and edited. if i have time i want to try and push this further, experimenting with Photoshop more to see if i can get a realistic outcome as creating my design into a wallpaper was the very first thing i wanted to do and by having this as my final showcase design i am very dissapointed with. I might try using a staging app or watching more tutorials to see if i can improve upon the skills.
Here is the link to her portfolio: http://www.harrietpopham.com/portfolio

I was influenced by Coventry train station. I used one of my printing sample to recreate the designs outside the train station.
I used Bias on top of my printing fabric and differents fabrics to create flower. Then I used embroidery machine to stitch the designs, which quiet match with my narrative. This is a great successful match because the sample reflects the building design.

FAS3000 - Story of You Presentation (module launch)
I have been introduced to our brief 'The Story of You'.
Immediately, I felt excited by this title because this is something I have always wanted to work on; to show myself as a person. It could start from my personality, hobbies and interests, experiences etc. I feel that this project will take me on a journey of self-discovery and reflection and I will practice and learn new fashion and textiles techniques and process to improve my skill set.
Throughout this presentation, I have taken interest in particular artists, designers and photographers that I could relate to and in some way inspire my ideas for this brief. I am particularly interested in artists Rosie James, Harriet Popham and Vanley Burke.
I intend to use my current primary sources and secondary research to brainstorm my ideas. At this moment, I do have a potential idea but I want to discover more options to see what topic I will resonate with more for this project.

As we get ready to welcome a new year, what better way to see out the last one than to reflect on some astonishing advances in science and technology, and how they've had a positive impact not only on our lives, but on those of other living creatures? One of the most fascinating books that I received when our book club was working on the Best Picture Books of 2019 list was "Karl's New Beak: 3-D Printing Builds a Bird a Better Life" (2019) by Lela Nargi, with illustrations by Harriet Popham. The book details the efforts of zoologists at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, DC to create a prosthetic for Karl, an Abyssinian Ground Hornbill whose own beak had been damaged, causing him both difficulty eating, and a fascinating but sad loss of "cultural" status among his fellow birds, leading to a deterioration in his mood as well. The details of how they accomplished this, including delving into the past along with the use of futuristic tech, are amazing! This is a great book for school-aged kids interested in non-fiction!! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #noodlenuts_nonfiction #karlsnewbeak #lelanargi #harrietpopham #smithsonianzoo #smithsonian #smithsoniannationalzoo #iteachscience #animalprosthetics #disability #disabledanimals #3dprinting #animalconservation #homeschool #librariansofinstagram #newbook #homeeducation #scienceteacher #abyssiniangroundhornbill #findmestories_bestof2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/B6v_5R8nja3/?igshid=5pju5n96zd9y

Warrior of the Altaii’s Long Journey to Publication
https://ift.tt/2XLhxiO
It took 40 years for Robert Jordan's first novel, Warrior of the Altaii, to hit the bookshelves. We chronicle its long journey.

Long time fans of Robert Jordan, author of the bestselling Wheel of Time series, may be puzzled how their beloved writer, who passed away in 2007, had a new book hit bookstore shelves this fall. Warrior of the Altaii, the newest of Jordan’s books to be published, is also his very first novel, and its road to publication was a long one. To get the full story, Den of Geek interviewed Harriet P. McDougal, the editor who originally discovered Jordan (and later married him), and Tor founder Tom Doherty, who revealed the hurdles this book had to overcome to be published—and why now is the perfect time to pick it up.
An Unknown Author
Forty-odd years ago, Doherty and McDougal were working together in New York under the banner of Grosset and Dunlap. McDougal headed up an imprint called Tempo, which had some success with science fiction and fantasy, so, as Doherty said, “They bought us Ace to play with.” Doherty became the publisher of Ace books, and McDougal, the editorial director. But when McDougal inherited a house where she grew up, in South Carolina, she decided to move there with her young son, rather than staying in New York.
“I couldn’t lose her, because she was the most talented editor I had worked with,” Doherty recalled. Despite this being the age before telecommuting, McDougal continued to work with Doherty, starting her own small publishing company, Popham Press. In order to find new writers, McDougal visited local bookstores, scouting for talent. There, she met James Oliver Rigney, Jr., the man who would become known as Robert Jordan.
Initially, Jordan pitched a book to fit her line--a bodice ripper that was truly awful. McDougal forgot about him for several months, during which time Jordan sold Warrior of the Altaii, which he had finished, to DAW books. DAW held onto Warrior of the Altaii for only a month in 1977 before they dropped the book by this unknown, first time author.
A year later, when McDougal called Jordan to see if he had anything he might like to show her, he shared Warrior of the Altaii. McDougal loved it, but it wasn’t right for Popham Press, so she called up Doherty, who bought it for Ace. (She also began working with Jordan under his other penname, Reagan O’Neal, publishing his trilogy set in the South during the American Revolution and the War of 1822.)

Meanwhile, Doherty moved to found Tor Books, taking McDougal with him. At Ace, the editor “didn’t seem to like the book very much,” McDougal confessed. Though the Reagan O’Neal books were bestsellers, Robert Jordan was an unknown name, and when Doherty and McDougal left Ace, they took Jordan with them—and the editors at Ace knew they were unlikely to get any further books from Jordan. After Warrior sat on the shelf there for several years, Jordan told the Ace editor it wasn’t doing either of them any good, and he asked for the rights to be reverted.
Two More Series
“Since it had sold without getting published, we moved on,” McDougal explained. “He was constantly busy,” and the book seemed to have a strange star over its head.”
But the novel continued to shape his career. Because McDougal knew from Warrior of the Altaii how convincingly Jordan could write a supposedly "barbarian" culture, Doherty and McDougal convinced him to take on writing for the Conan the Barbarian series. “He got kind of a kick out of writing it,” Doherty recalled, “so he began writing more.”
McDougal noted how Jordan included social commentary in the Conan books, though many readers may have missed it. “You can tell how he felt about our adventures in the Middle East in the last 25 or 30 years by reading his Conans,” she explained. “He took the opportunity to pretend that Conan is messing around in Afghanistan.”
And then came The Wheel of Time. Doherty contracted the first six books from the series in 1984, while Jordan was writing the Conan books. He worked on his initial plan for the series on the side while producing six barbarian bestsellers. The Eye of the World was finally published in 1990, and the series continued over fourteen books (with Brandon Sanderson finishing the series from Jordan’s notes after his death).
The Wheel of Time had a major impact on Tor Books, and continues to shape the publisher and industry today. “Fantasy is our biggest single category,” Doherty noted, “and our biggest fantasy author is Brandon Sanderson,” who gained many readers when he completed Jordan’s series.
Forty Years Later
So why bring out Warrior of the Altaii after so many years had gone by? “It really began with a question from Tom Doherty, who said, ‘Do you have anything tucked away?’” McDougal explained. “I think he asked for it by name.”
Of course, after forty years, Doherty remembered very little about the story. He knew it existed, and he had wanted to bring Warrior of the Altaii out earlier. But with the success of The Wheel of Time, there was little reason to look back.
Now, as Wheel of Time is being adapted for the small screen in an original series by Amazon Prime, for which McDougal serves as consulting producer, it seemed like the moment might be right to return to Jordan’s early work. The series “may be one of the reasons Harriet eventually let me do Warrior,” Doherty posited. While McDougal has always said she wants Jordan to be remembered for his best, which is The Wheel of Time.
With the Amazon Prime series bringing a new audience to the work, learning the story first through the adaptation rather than through Jordan’s own words. By releasing Warrior of the Altaii, McDougal and Doherty give readers a chance to experience Jordan’s original voice, and take a look at part of his legacy that formed some of the groundwork for the later, groundbreaking fantasy series.
Warrior of the Altaii is now available to purchase wherever books are sold.
