It may take a few days. It is the holidays, after all, and my webmaster has a life and other things to do besides taking care of my site. (This is the only part of my site that I can actually change myself). So please be patient. It won't be long.
Happy New Year, everyone.

1. As a writer myself, I don't think it's fair to assume that Martin is "slacking" when a book takes time to arrive. I think that, alas, he's experiencing the same angst and headaches I get when I'm trying to get a sentence right. Sometimes, fiction comes easily. Sometimes, it's like hammering nails into your head.

I think that every writer has his/her personal speed and that can vary a lot. I know writers who happily knock out two books every year, but I'm not one of those, that's for sure. :) After several years, most writers develop a personal routine and any attempt to work outside that routine will lead to stress and feelings of not delivering the best.
Some writers can only concentrate on one project at a time, others need several different things to work on in order to be creative. Looks like George is in that camp. I can relate, I'm totally a multitasker.
We should be glad George is taking HIS time to write the books, and thankful to the publisher for not rushing him.
