Back from Texas. I had a marvelous time at Texas A&M, presenting them with the five millionth volume for their library, a first edition of THE HOBBIT, and at the Nacogdoches Film Festival, where I got to see my old friends Howard Waldrop, Michael Cassutt, and Joe R. Lansdale, and make a whole bunch of new friends besides. Did some business too, discussing a very cool new project I am working on with H'ard, Mike, and Joe R. More on that later.
But not I am home again, facing the usual mountain of mail and email, and of course the monkeys on my back... those noisiest of them being HIGH STAKES, volume twenty-three in the Wild Cards series, and of course the Son of Kong, THE WINDS OF WINTER.
Once more into the breach...

Thanks for all the great work.
Since you mention the son of kong I thought I might actually try to get some answers on some "fun" questions I had.
Would you actually consider using some of, say, the telltale game's characters and use these into the upcoming books or more generally characters from any other semi canon source?
And will there again be some wildly inappropriate degrading "Easter egg" references included of sports teams that are of your particular disliking?
Keep up the great work and excited for what is coming next
Someone needs to release a version of Donkey Kong with you replacing Mario and other books and obligations replacing the barrels he throws to slow you down.
I know you hate it when people ask you about how far you have come or how much remains and so on, so I'm not gonna ask. But are there any kind of questions regarding Wind of Winter you don't mind that much? Like; are you facing some of the same problems you had when writing the two previous novels, or is this one easier to write?
In the meantime, I'll be re-reading and re-reading and re-reading and probably over-analyzing the first five books until Son of Kong gets off your back and graces my shelf :)
I have been a fan of ASOIAF since 1998. Your books have always been there for me throughout my adult life. I appreciate that and look forward to many more. Besides Winds, I am looking forward to the graphic novel of The Mystery Knight. :)
