Westeros Luftwaffe Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I'm just sharing some information about George's August 19th appearance in London. The CEO commentary I found to be particularly interesting though....... Anyways don't shoot the messenger! http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/23914/20140721/winds-winter-release-date-george-martin-event.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Abstract Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Very unlikely to get TWOW news. As the article says multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Creighton Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 No way he would undermine Robin at her own event and release by doing that. He is there to give her a push and draw some attention to her. He is helping out their shared publisher and Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Brandimore Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 that letter is false: Martin has no such thing as a death limit. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talking Hodor Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 This is just another article in a whole slew of them trying to get readership by pretending to know something about the release date. They may as well just be making youtube videos with boobs in the thumbnail. GRRM is not going to shit all over this other author's big day by giving us such monumental news. It's bad form and bad business. This is just GRRM finding yet another excuse not to be at home writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle H Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 According to Martin's UK publisher there won't be an announcement...nor in the foreseeable future - she says a release in 2015 is "very unlikely."https://mobile.twitter.com/JaneJohnsonBakr/status/492050207979634689 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has every right to say that. How would you feel if in an interview I said to you: "So, [name], how do you feel about the idea you might die before completing [insert task here]?" I think I would respond in a similar way. Its rude, disrespectful and outright offensive to Martin to ask him things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rude, disrespectful and outright offensive to Martin to ask him things like that. I will not ask this kind of question in his face, but the concern is real enough, based on his writting speed, we would have to wait until middle of 2020's for him finishing this series, and you only need to take a look at GGRM to know where these concern come from, Though I agree we should not ask him this question directly, but this concern is in our mind, and GGRM should have known that, and I guess he privately admit these concern is valid, and that is the reason why he is so mad.

Kyle H Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 So not 2015? That's depressing.That's what it sounds like, unless she is being deliberately misleading. So at least another year and a half of waiting, or more...and it will have been at least 4.5 years since ADWD...Between AFFC and ADWD was about 5.5 years, so even if TWOW came out on Jan 2nd, 2016, it would still only be a year of so quicker than ADWD...so much for Anne Groell's "we hope to have [TWOW] reasonably soon" (I don't know anyone who considers a year and a half at the earliest as reasonably soon....)

If he reveals ANYTHING about his own writing, it'll be about the WoIaF book, not WoW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPJK79 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah I felt really strong about a 2015 release. Who but one only knows. Just have to wait but it is starting to get really frustrating that it could be a while before a release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
