2015 - Linda Taglieri
|
Linda Taglieri lives in Sydney where she works as a mining industry analyst. She has been writing essays and articles on the Wheel of Time since 2003 on subjects as varied as the magic system, the real world influences on the Wheel of Time, character analysis, symbolism in the books, and, of course, her theories, with more (yes, more!) in the planning. She was a Wheel of Time admin on the now defunct fansite wotmania for five years before establishing the Thirteenth Depository: A Wheel of Time Blog in 2009 for her articles on The Wheel of Time. A keen embroiderer, Linda exhibits annually with a group of dedicated textile artists. Since she finds it fun to combine her interests, she is creating a long-running series of miniature Wheel of Time costumes for fashion dolls. She has participated in panels and costuming workshops at JordanCon, DragonCon and WorldCon, and was a beta reader for Towers of Midnight and A Memory of Light.
