To Dance (Very Slowly) With Dragons...

[fajrdrako]

From this article in 'Game of Thrones':

A representative for Martin’s publisher Random House says that, regarding George R.R. Martin’s long-long-long-long awaited fifth book in the series, Dance With Dragons, that an announcement may be coming soon...

I would consider this great news except that the release date for To Dance With Dragons (or did they change the title?) has already been annouced. Several times. It was, what... April 2008? Then September? Then 2009? And then they were embarrassed to say anything about it? And heck, Martin said it was already half written back in 2006...

(the fact he’s at press tour is interesting in itself … perhaps the publisher just employs a guy to follow Martin around urging him to finish the damn book already)

In which case, the ploy has clearly not worked!
