Author George RR Martin says through his blog that next ‘Game Of Thrones’ Novel ‘The Winds Of Winter’ may arrive in 2021.

The author says that he is writing the next installment, The Winds of Winter, and is apparently stepping up his writing pace.

The author has spent the last several months on lockdown in a cabin in the mountains and says ''the enforced isolation has helped me write.'' He also expressed hope that his novel might be finished before the summer of 2021. 

Martin said he hoped to introduce the new work at a New Zealand fan convention in 2021, “When I hope that both Covid-19 and THE WINDS OF WINTER will be done.”

HBO's 'Game of Thrones' has been ended in May 2019. Martin is now working on the network’s 'House of the Dragon' spinoff series.
