Three. New one came out not too long ago.


There's no way the book is coming out this summer. It's not even finished yet, and it typically takes 6+ months from completion to see a book on the shelves at Barnes and Noble.

Gurm's problem is that he's made enough money that he doesn't have to work. He can go to nerd cons and blog about pizza and the Jets/Giants all fricking day long and it doesn't negatively affect his lifestyle.

He spends what little time he does work on editing "Wild Cards", a horrible horrible superhero series. As related to me, one of the heroes derives his power from tantric sex. In one instance, he kills a guy, then brings him back to life in order to question him. How did he bring him back to life? By fricking him. Yep. frick you, Gurm.

It'd be easy to blame the delay on Gurm's decision to forgo his original plan of a 5 year gap. The gap would have let Dany, Bran, Sansa, Arya, and Jon grow into believable young adults. It would have made sense. Now he has to figure out how the frick to get Dany from a 16 year old girl with no education and near-feral dragons to a world-spanning conqueror and savior of Westeros from the forthcoming invasion of the Others.

But no, that's too easy a thing to blame it on. The real reason is that he's a lazy fatass resentful of his most famous and lauded work, and would much rather eat himself into an early grave and ogle young girls at every nerd convention around the globe.


I saw some of you figured out that Jon is really Lyanna and Rhaegar's lovechild. Did y'all also know that Sandor Clegane is still alive?

false, don't think AFFC's turnaround was anyhere near that and this one has much much bigger demand. The editor has had hundreds of pages all but finished already, just awaiting the last parts. And you're saying this won't be on shelves til Oct?

so, he's allowed a life outside of writing? string him up

This part of your post is trolling. Along with several other statements that you have no way of actually knowing. You are just throwing out retarded statements and hoping your vitriol will keep someone from calling you on it.
