It’s been 12 years since George RR Martin last published a novel in his A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Since then the Game of Thrones TV show has come and gone, with its creators having had to rely on plot outlines for the last two books that are yet to be written.

Four years on from the HBO series finale and Martin is still working on penultimate book The Winds of Winter.

After which, the almost 75-year-old has A Dream of Spring to go to complete his magnum opus.

In the meantime, the writer has shared a blog update on his progress, a couple of months since the last.

Writing about the joint Hollywood actors and writers strike, Martin gave a few details on A Song of Ice and Fire content that’s in the pipeline.

Aside from the shooting of House of the Dragon season 2, a stage play called The Iron Throne is in the works and likely to debut at some point in London’s West End.

And, at the end of his blog post, Martin also gave details on his progress with The Winds of Winter.

Martin wrote on his blog: “And, yes, yes, of course, I’ve been working on WINDS OF WINTER. Almost every day.

“Writing, rewriting, editing, writing some more. Making steady progress.

“Not as fast as I would like.. .certainly not as fast as YOU would like… but progress nonetheless.”
