Life

In 1999 she suffered a stroke from which she did not fully recover until her death and was therefore cared for by her husband. She died on February 28, 2007 in Carson City at the age of 69.
Works
According to her husband, David Eddings, Leight Eddings has co-authored all of his books since High Hunt was first published in 1973. On the advice of the editor Lester del Rey , who was not convinced that co-authorship could be sold, the name of Leight was dropped. This only changed in 1995 with the book Belgarath the Sorcerer (German: Belgarath, the magician ). Since 1995 all books have been published under the authorship of David & Leight Eddings ; only these are listed here. For a complete list of works see the bibliography by David Eddings .
