WoT: Prophecies of Dragon: what's in it?

I have also read in numerous interviews and books that he has set the series at 13, 15 or 18. I don't think he knows, epecially considering it was orignally meant to be a trilogy.

I've never read anything other than 'at least three more books' from him (and I've read pretty much every real interview, chat transcript, or signing transcript that's appeared online since 1996), excepting the 'at least two more books' in the interview attached to the e-book version of the prologue to Crossroads of Twilight. The 'at least three more' seems to have been his standard answer from Fires of Heaven to Winter's Heart, though it's hard to say how anything in Crossroads of Twilight could have brought the series closer to a conclusion.

I agree with you that RJ himself has always been tight lipped except in the vague way as you say.

The other references I referred to were guess-timates by people who don't know. I think the main reason for this is that RJ does not have clue himself

Well, it is a trilogy: you can happily stop reading after book three in which Rand faces the dark one and wins.
