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 604 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 1136 Views
Completed? Probably. Published? Now unlikely. Werthead - 26/07/2010 05:06:16 PM 1173 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 438 Views
Martin's "staring at a blank screen" line doesn't sound too encouraging. *NM* RandAllThor - 27/07/2010 06:56:23 PM 464 Views
He doesn't say that Werthead - 27/07/2010 09:41:25 PM 1047 Views
Definitely encouraging. It would make for an interesting fall! *NM* RandAllThor - 27/07/2010 09:47:34 PM 446 Views
Would they really do that? fionwe1987 - 28/07/2010 12:08:10 AM 1072 Views
I see no reason why not. RandAllThor - 28/07/2010 01:19:09 AM 1079 Views
Very close. Werthead - 28/07/2010 11:50:54 AM 1009 Views
If he hands it in after August... RandAllThor - 28/07/2010 02:15:10 PM 962 Views

Storm of Swords came out a week before Winter's Heart Zaphod - 29/07/2010 11:32:02 PM 1111 Views
If the HBO series goes forward after the first season... RandAllThor - 30/07/2010 03:39:01 PM 1117 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 409 Views
Not too bad this time around. Werthead - 05/08/2010 07:52:01 PM 969 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 478 Views
3 or 4. Werthead - 10/08/2010 11:01:44 PM 920 Views
That was my calculation too. So close, yet so far. *NM* RandAllThor - 10/08/2010 11:11:09 PM 453 Views
