Responding to queries on the similarity of some of the concepts in his Wheel of Time books with Freemasonry concepts, Jordan admitted that he was a Freemason. He lived with his wife Harriet McDougal, who works as a book editor (currently with Tor Books she was also Jordan's editor) in a house built in 1797.
