Winter is not coming.
“Game
of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin says he missed a Dec. 31 deadline
to finish “The Winds of Winter,” the latest book in his fantasy series.
That means the HBO season based on that sixth novel will start airing
in April, while he’s still writing.
The words “you won’t like it” appeared Saturday on Martin’s blog, reporting the missed deadline.
Martin
says he wanted to say he’s delivered “The Winds of Winter” for
publication, but estimates it’ll take months more if all goes well.
Martin
apologized to fans eagerly awaiting the next installment of the series
in which characters warn of impending doom with the phrase, “Winter is
coming.” And he says he’s been working with HBO to ensure the series
reflects the as-yet-unfinished book.
