The latest news in things that George R. R. Martin is doing rather than publishing The Winds of Winter, the next book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, is… publishing a new story in the ASOIF universe?!

As picked up by voyeurism-themed Game of Thrones news site Watchers on the Wall, an Amazon listing for the upcoming anthology edited by Gardner Dozois, Book of Swords, will contain a new story by Martin "set in the world  Game of Thrones."

Fifteen original tales celebrating fantasy's golden age of sword and sorcery, including a new story from George R. R. Martin set in the world of A Game of Thrones!

As for Winds of Winter, there's still hope that Martin will finish it this year. He gave a decisive "maybe" when asked about it earlier this month.

Not done yet, but I've made progress. But not as much as I hoped a year ago, when I thought to be done by now.

I think it will be out this year. (But hey, I thought the same thing last year).

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
