"The Winds of Winter" fans will not be receiving any update until the book is completed. The book's author George R.R. Martin explained that he will not be revealing any detail about the upcoming book, not until it is complete.

 

It was a Reddit member, named JoanneOfTarth, who pointed out that Martin replied to a fan who was asking about "The Winds of Winter's" release date. The fan mentioned that since it has been more than six months since the last book update, she was hoping that another detail will be revealed about the whole writing process.

"The Winds of Winter" author replied by saying that he does not like to talk about his writing process.

Meanwhile, "The Winds of Winter" completion news and rumors have all pointed out to one thing - the sixth book in the fantasy novel series "A Song of Ice and Fire" will not be released during the World Fantasy Convention, The Verge reported. The Head of marketing and communications of HarperCollins Australia Jaki Arthur responded to the news by saying that they are not aware of what will happen at the WorldCon; however, he confirmed that the book will not be one of the highlights of the event.

The HarperCollins Australia head nevertheless acknowledged Martin's efforts in trying to deliver "The Winds of Winter" although he remains quiet on the book's official publication date. He added that HarperCollins will make an immediate announcement about the launch when Martin is done with all of the chapters.

Meanwhile, reports claim that Martin was offended on rumors that "The Winds of Winter" would serve as the last book for his popular fantasy novel series. The popular author said that all the rumors are not true as there will be a seventh and final book in the series, titled "A Dream of Spring."

"The Winds of Winter" is reportedly set to be released prior "Game of Thrones" Season 7's premiere on HBO. According Game N Guide, Martin has already completed writing the sixth installment, but has not released the book for personal reasons.
