Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin is speaking out about rumors surrounding his final two novels.

According to GOT actor Ian McElhinney, George had already finished The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring but was waiting for the HBO series to conclude before publishing them.

“It boggles me that anyone would believe this story, even for an instant. It makes not a whit of sense. Why would I sit for years on completed novels?” George wrote on his blog.

He continue, “I will, however, say for the record — no, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring are not finished. Dream is not even begun; I am not going to start writing volume seven until I finish volume six. No, the books are not done. HBO did not ask me to delay them. Nor did David [Benioff] & Dan [Weiss]. There is no ‘deal’ to hold back on the books.”

George‘s most recent book in the series, A Dance with Dragons, was published in 2011.

HBO used the first five GOT books to create the series and were given an outline about how George planned to end the final two novels.

The cast of the new series Nightflyers gathers for a photo while attending day one of 2018 Comic-Con on Thursday (July 19) in San Diego, Calif.

David Ajala, Gretchen Mol, Eoin Macken, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Angus Sampson were on hand to debut the first trailer for the upcoming Syfy series, based on the book by “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin.

Martin was scheduled to attend the show’s panel, but was too busy writing and was unable to make it. He sent a video message instead.

Nightflyers, premiering this fall on Syfy, takes place hundreds of years in the future when humans have colonized the solar system. Earth, Mars, and the Belt are now on the brink of war and all it will take is a single spark.

George R.R. Martin just released a new sample from his upcoming book The Winds of Winter, which is the sixth book in the Game of Thrones seven book series!

HBO’s hit series had been modeled after each of the five previous books for the first several seasons, but this current season is the first that is actually ahead of the book series, as the sixth book has no set release date.

To those fans who believe the sample indicates the book will be out soon, George has a message: “And no, just to spike any bullsh*t rumors, changing the sample chapter does NOT mean I am done…Monkey is still on my back…but he’s growing, he is, and one day…”

The 6th season of Game of Thrones is currently airing on HBO every Sunday evening.
