George R. R. Martin's "The Winds of Winter" Wiill Not Be Published In 2015
Dave Knott (2917251) writes George R.R. Martin's "The WInds Of Winter", the fifth book of his bestselling fantasy saga "A Song Of Ice And Fire" (known to television fans as "Game Of Thrones") will not be published in 2015. Jane Johnson at HarperCollins has confirmed that it is not in this year's schedule. "I have no information on likely delivery," she said. "These are increasingly complex books and require immense amounts of concentration to write. Fans really ought to appreciate that the length of these monsters is equivalent to two or three novels by other writers."
Instead, readers will have to comfort themselves with a collection, illustrated by Gary Gianni, of three previously anthologised novellas set in the world of Westeros. "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" takes place nearly a century before the bloody events of the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Out in October, it is a compilation of the first three official prequel novellas to the series, The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight, never before collected.

I'm sorry, it's all my fault. CSB inbound:
Several years back, I took my wife to a signing for Feast for Crows at the (now gone) World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto.
The info said he'd sign anything he'd written, and I happened to have the first Wild Cards volume, so I grabbed it and off we went.
Well, when we got to the table, he seemed surprised to see it, and said something like 'Ah, that takes me back.'
A month later, he announced a ton of new Wild Cards stuff. So I think it might be my fault. Sorry.
