The Author?

[Symbro]

It is very important for people to realize that David Eddings was not the sole Author of these books.

[SmoothasSilk]

Yes that's true, but Leigh didn't get credited until Polgara the Sorceress... so he is technically the sole author of the Belgariad and Mallorean.. he is no longer...

Let's say he needed some time to admit the contribution of his wife.

[Greebo-Is-The-Best]

In the Elenium and Tamuli books he frequently mentions how his wife helped him with his books...

and they co-wrote or co-authored (i've always had a way with words eh? :P) "Dreamers"

[nixie]

He's always admitted his wife contributed a lot too the books, and on the later books she is cited as co-author
