George RR Martin has revealed that he has found it hard to finish the long-awaited sixth book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, as the rise in fame and popularity that came with the television adaptation Game of Thrones has become a “considerable weight to bear”. In an exclusive interview with the Guardian ahead of the publication of his next book, Fire and Blood, a history of the fantasy universe of his hugely popular series, Martin said he’d been wrestling with The Winds of Winter, which has been eagerly awaited by fans since the last book in the series, 2011’s A Dance With Dragons.

In a new interview with The Guardian, Martin said that as well as working with HBO on the five different Game of Thrones prequels, he is developing “a couple of other shows for HBO” adding that he “can’t talk about them yet.” Martin is additionally working as an executive producer on Who Fears Death and the superhero series Wild Cards.

HBO wrapped up its fourth season of the smash hit “Game of Thrones” on Sunday. The show is based on the bestselling “A Song of Ice And Fire” series, written by George R. R. Martin, who’s completed five of the series’ seven books. When the remaining two books will come out is a major source of stress and enthusiasm for fans, as well as a constant subject of speculation.

It isn't often you get a rock star-style reaction to walking into a bar and pulling a pint of beer. But that's what happened at Comic-Con Thursday when Pedro Pascal — AKA the Red Viper, the late, lamented Oberyn Martell of Dorne — poured the first few ceremonial glasses of Game of Thrones ale.

With all the character changes, non-book deaths, and plot alterations in the upcoming season of HBO’s Game of Thrones, you’d be forgiven if you thought the TV show would eventually have nothing whatsoever to do with George R.R. Martin’s books. But you’d be wrong. Show runners Dan Weiss and David Benioff confirmed over the weekend that their show would be ending in the same place as the book series, and sooner than the books as well.
