Not really. I met him. He had another series (SF, not fantasy) that he
wanted to write, but had to finish WoT first.
Unfortunately, he lost control of his material. The more he wrote, the more he discovered he had to write to tell the story he wanted to tell. He mentioned at a signing that he knew what the last scene in the last book was, but wasn't sure just how he would get here, save that it would
not be a twelve book series. After reading the book he was signing at that visit, I said "He's right. It won't be a twelve book series. It will take at least
thirteen..."
The final book that Brian Sanderson is completing is book twelve, but for technical reasons will probably be published as three volumes.
