The patience of George RR Martin's fans is continuously being tested, qwith the latest volume in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series still nowhere to be found. The author has been shedding just about every gig, appearance and interview worth shedding just to finish "Winds of Winter."
However, one thing that the novelist could set aside his writing work for is "Sharknado 3." According to The Outhousers, the sixth volume in his series will be delayed further with Martin deciding to stop by the SyFy series to become a meal to two famished sharks.
The publication went on to quip about how fans won't ever see the end of "A Song of Ice and Fire" knowing that the author has already met his gruesome untimely "demise." It even quoted one fan warning the cast and the crew of HBO series inspired by the books to stay away from Sharknado-prone sites.
Meanwhile, VC Post reports that "Winds of Winter" will likely be released just before season 6 of "Game of Thrones" premieres. The series is slated to return by spring so Martin is expected to release the highly-anticipated book soon.
Ever since the HBO hit caught up with the books and ended with the apparent death of its most beloved character Jon Snow, fans have never been so anxious in getting their hands on the sequel to "Dance of Dragons" to know the real fate of the Lord Commander of Night's Watch.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Martin revealed he wants "Winds of Winter" to release as much as the clamoring fans, explaining that it is "important" to him to have it release before "Game of Thrones" season 6 marches into the small screen.
Explaining the delay, he shared how he regretted not working on "Winds of Winter" right after "Dance of Dragons" made it out into the open. He added that he was actually "red hot" on the much-awaited book and "was so into it."
"I was pushing so hard that I was writing very well. I should have just gone on from there, because I was so into it and it was moving so fast then," Martin recalled. "But I didn't because I had to switch gears into the editing phase and then the book tour. The iron does cool off, for me especially," he continued.
"This is going to drive your readers crazy," the 67-year-old author teased. "But I love it. I'm still weighing whether to go that direction or not. It's a great twist. It's easy to do things that are shocking or unexpected, but they have to grow out of characters. They have to grow out of situations," he added.
