Tower Sworn Interview
Added March 8, 2019
- How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?
Since about 1996.
- How did you first get into the series?
I was 9 and I hated reading. My mom eventually forced me to sit down so she could read the first WoT book to me. The deal was, if I made it to the end of the book and still didn’t like reading and books, she would stop bothering me about finding something I wanted to read. After a few chapters I stole… erm, borrowed the book while she was sleeping and disappeared into my room, only resurfacing a few months later when I’d finished all the books that were published at that point (book 6 or 7). Mom won that bet and my sleep cycle has never recovered.
- Who is your favorite "hero"?
Maybe Egwene? Though Amys and Sorilea are also fantastic. So is Rhuarc.
- Favorite bad guy/gal?
Semirhage. Most definitely Semirhage.
- Favorite book and scene?
Book 3, shortly after Mat wakes up in the Tower after being Healed. He goes for a walk and comes across the Warders-in-training. He ends up accidentally challenging Gawyn and Galad to a competition, them with their swords, and him with a quarterstaff. In just a few moments he wipes the floor with them.
- If you were set down in Randland, who/what would you see yourself as? An Aes Sedai? Innkeeper? Seanchan Captain?
Probably a farmer or other low to moderate-low income person… just like the vast majority of people in Randland…
- How did you find TarValon.Net and what convinced you to stay and become Tower Sworn?
I was reading theories on Dragonmount, saw Eleyan posting there, followed a link in her sig which brought me to TarValon.Net. About five minutes later, I signed the novice book.
- Do you have any hobbies?
Quilting, reading, learning piano.
- What kind of music do you enjoy listening to?
Home Free, Piano Guys, various classical, Lindsey Stirling, Evanesence, Beyonce, anything that sounds good to me.
- What are some of your favorite movies / television shows?
Buffy, NCIS, LotR, You’ve Got Mail, Fried Green Tomatoes, Star Trek Voyager, Iron Man.
- Aside from The Wheel of Time, what are a few of your favorite books/series?
Chronicles of Elantra – Michelle Sagara; The Sun Sword – Michelle West; Black Magician Trilogy – Trudi Canavan; Second Sons Trilogy – Jennifer Fallon; Mistborn – Brandon Sanderson; Stormlight Archive – Brandon Sanderson
- What profession did you want to have when you were a kid?
Astronaut or Supreme Overlord of the Universe. Either one would have been acceptable.
