    From GRRM's site yesterday:

    HBO has given the production order.

    They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES.

    It's just the pilot so far. They'll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season's episodes. So let's all hope the pilot will kick serious ass.

    It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it's very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series.

    More details when I have 'em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it's not there already.

    Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn.

    That's good news and all but if they pick it up and go the distance they will end up having to cancel or go on a seriously long hiatus when they catch up to whatever the current book in the series is if it takes him five years to write each of the (supposed) last two.

    I'm going to get the Josh Hamilton biography this weekend. The guy has a hell of a story to tell.

    I just finished Michael Connelly's TRUNK MUSIC. It's one of his earlier and best works, for sure.

    The Founding: A Gaunt's Ghosts Omnibus - by Dan Abnett. Very good piece of militaristic science fiction.

    The Briar King by Greg Keyes

    I started reading this last night and I was hooked by the end of the prologue.
