George R.R. Martin: Game of Thrones Novels May Never Be Finished

Martin started writing stories at a young age, even selling them to friends for a small price. He earned his first award, The Alley Award for Fan Fiction, before he was 18, recognizing his story Powerman vs. the Blue Barrier. He’s received many accolades since then, but he’s most known for A Game of Thrones, the first book in his A Song of Ice and Fire series. This series became incredibly popular with the HBO television show of the same name, which was a ratings success from 2011 to 2019 and has since expanded into spin-offs, video games, and board games.
