Rumor has it that one of the leading fictional fantasy authors of today, George R.R. Martin will release his upcoming novel 'Winds of Winter' in 2015. It has been claimed by several reports that the reason why the famous author is cutting back on his appearances is because he is currently working hard on his novel.

Martin recently appeared on several shows like 'Conan', 'Last Week Tonight' and 'Late Night' and apparently, reports claim that those are his final appearances for the year as he is focused on finishing his novel to be released hopefully by 2015.

The author, who was recently listed as the third most powerful author behind Stephen King and J.K. Rowling hasn't officially responded to the rumors. But the fans are already anxious about the novel.

Rumor has it that Martin gained much drive after the release of the 'Star Wars 7: The Force Awakens' trailer. "He was really excited about the Star Wars trailer and knows that people will feel the same way once his book is out. He finally looked into things as a fan and not as a writer," a source told Hollywood Life.

"The trailer opened up something he has been missing lately, the wonderment of everything is making his creative juices flow again. He is determined to have the new book out and ready for 2015," the source added.

Martin, famous for writing 'Game of Thrones,' continues to be marketable in his works. Apparently the author since 1996 already sold 24 million books and he proved his reverence especially when the series which was based on his 'A Song of Fire and Ice' novels became the most watched show on television.

Meanwhile news agencies still await for the official statement coming from the famous fantasy author as the fans hope that his new book will be as exciting as the previous ones in the series.
