I suspect it would then be February-March. Werthead Send a noteboard - 28/07/2010 09:55:34 PM
Any idea if Bantam would be more inclined to get the book out as soon as possible or to push back the release date to spring 2011? I know that the first month or so of the year typically doesn't see many big releases, coming as it does just after the holidays.


Late January is a possibility, but generally speaking if you miss Christmas the next release slot is normally February. That said, January does have several fantasy releases this year, most notably Joe Abercrombie's new book, but that might just be a UK market thing (the same book is being held back for February in the US).

I agree. I've actually somewhat given up on the series. Just moved on. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 30/07/2010 04:14:50 PM 631 Views
He was almost finished with the book in June 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and now 2010, according to GRRM. Asharak - 26/07/2010 01:35:18 PM 1201 Views
Completed? Probably. Published? Now unlikely. Werthead - 26/07/2010 05:06:16 PM 1233 Views
I'd have thought Bantam would realize how many would buy it from the UK if it's out there first. *NM* RandAllThor - 26/07/2010 05:54:44 PM 467 Views
Martin's "staring at a blank screen" line doesn't sound too encouraging. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/07/2010 06:56:23 PM 487 Views
He doesn't say that Werthead - 27/07/2010 09:41:25 PM 1109 Views
Definitely encouraging. It would make for an interesting fall! *NM* RandAllThor - 27/07/2010 09:47:34 PM 475 Views
Would they really do that? fionwe1987 - 28/07/2010 12:08:10 AM 1124 Views
I see no reason why not. RandAllThor - 28/07/2010 01:19:09 AM 1138 Views
Very close. Werthead - 28/07/2010 11:50:54 AM 1064 Views
If he hands it in after August... RandAllThor - 28/07/2010 02:15:10 PM 1016 Views

Storm of Swords came out a week before Winter's Heart Zaphod - 29/07/2010 11:32:02 PM 1172 Views
If the HBO series goes forward after the first season... RandAllThor - 30/07/2010 03:39:01 PM 1167 Views
GRRM is already up to circa 100 MS pages on Winds. The mind boggles at the timeline issues. *NM* RandAllThor - 01/08/2010 04:35:20 PM 434 Views
Not too bad this time around. Werthead - 05/08/2010 07:52:01 PM 1025 Views
GRRM's now finished 8 POVs, with at least 2 left. I wonder how many more he has to go. *NM* RandAllThor - 08/08/2010 01:15:24 AM 507 Views
3 or 4. Werthead - 10/08/2010 11:01:44 PM 968 Views
That was my calculation too. So close, yet so far. *NM* RandAllThor - 10/08/2010 11:11:09 PM 477 Views
