George R. R. Martin's "Winds of Winter" Release Date is still in limbo and the author was not as forthcoming when TMZ cameras tried to wriggle out some information for his "last" book. The famously slow writer is also apparently not worried about the "Game of Thrones" catching up with the events in the books.

The exchange started off with the TMZ cameraman asking the author: "A lot of people are wondering will the last book be finished by the time the show ("Game of Thrones") is at its final season?"

To which the author said: "Who the hell knows?"

"Any dates you want to put out for it?"

"I'm not even working on the last book. I'm working on the second to last book," George R. R. Martin told the cameraman while strolling in Los Angeles with a female companion.

The seventh and last book in "A Song of Fire and Ice" series is called "A Dream of Spring," and will immediately follow the events from the "Winds of Winter."

Will the fast pace of the "Game of Thrones" catch up and impact on the George R.R. Martin's "Winds of Winter" release date?

The author said that he'll just "write one page at a time."

Fans might be disappointed again from lack of good news on George R. R. Martin's "Winds of Winter" release date, but another book "The World Of Ice & Fire" will definitely be out in bookstores by fall.

Through his official blog, author George R.R. Martin published the cover of the coffee table book "The World Of Ice and Fire" after publishing house Bantam change it several times.

"You've seen a couple of the earlier mockups here and on my website. Now here's the latest and... I am told... final cover," he wrote, adding that the book will be out in bookshelves on October 28, 2014.
