George R.R. Martin updated fans through his Livejournal page on the status of the unfinished Winds of Winter: "I am still working on it, I am still months away (how many? good question), I still have good days and bad days, and that's all I care to say." Another project, the first of a two-volume collection of fake histories of the Targaryen kings called Fire and Blood, is "likely" for publication in late 2018 or 2019. "Whether WINDS or the first volume of FIRE AND BLOOD will be the first to hit the bookstores is hard to say at this juncture, but I do think you will have a Westeros book from me in 2018... and who knows, maybe two."
