The UK Publisher of A Song of Ice and Fire tweeted this today quelling some rumours about the release of The Winds of Winter:

I know its a pretty depressing prospect for the ASOIAF fandom. I personally was hoping for an early 2015 release but it looks like that isn’t going to happen.

Jane Johnson is the UK Publisher for authors such as George R.R Martin, Robert Hobb, Joe Abercrombie and many more.
