So that’s nice :-) I guess the third part will now be released earlier too.

Perseus Books, which also represents 330 smaller publishers, has signed on to have its electronic books distributed through Apple’s iBookstore.[From Apple inks iPad deal with largest independent publisher]

I welcome a deal that allows authors to make a living from their work. Goodbye freetard economics.

HBO is stoked about how ‘Thrones’ is coming together… [From HBO: 'Games of Thrones' dailies 'fantastic']

They’ll run out of books in the series if GRRM doesn’t speed up a little. But I am looking forward to seeing this if it gets greenlit.
