Recently, George RR Martin's highly anticipated book "The Winter Winds" have been rumored to release sooner than expected - complete with ISBN and an exact release date. However, it has been confirmed that the said info is fake.
Reports claim that "The Winds of Winter" is already available for pre-order in Amazon France with a listed release on March 9, 2017. This has caused quite a buzz particularly to fans who have been waiting long for the release of George RR Martins's sixth instalment.
However, US publishers quickly denied the rumors and clarified that no release date has been announced for the book.
In an interview with EW, Random House stated, "As his publisher, we support George RR Martin as he works hard to finish "The Winds of Winter". Any on-sale dates currently listed online for the novel are incorrect. Once we have a publication date for The Winds of Winter, the world will know."
Same goes with the UK publishers claiming that "nothing has been finalised regarding the publication or the date."
The publishers explained that George RR Martin is working really hard to finish "The Winds of Winter" and that they will announce any progress including the release date once they have it.
On the other hand, well-known author George RR Martin has apologised for the delay of the sixth instalment in the "A Song Of Ice And Fire" series. He too hopes that "The Winds of Winter" will be reaching bookstores soon.
Although it might be disappointing to many fans out there, it is still best to wait for George RR Martin to finish his book at his own pace and let him do what he does best. After all, a masterpiece isn't done overnight.
