Winds Of Winter Release Date: There are rumors that George R.R. Martin wants to bring in a co-author to finish "The Winds Of Winter."

in 2015, the 67-year-old author opted to turn down several events.

"I have too much to do. Too many things on my plate. Son of Kong foremost amongst them," the Winds of Winter author wrote to his blog.

"I don't write when I travel. I don't write in hotel rooms. I don't write on airplanes. I really have to be in my own house undisturbed to write,"

The original plan was to submit the completed manuscript of "The Winds of Winter" by the end of October.

Fans are questioning whether they will ever see "The Winds of Winter" in bookstores this year.

"The Winds of Winter is not finished," Martin told fans in a year-end update of the sixth A Song of Ice and Fire book.

"Believe me, it gave me no pleasure to type those words," Martin wrote.

"You're disappointed, and you're not alone. "My editors and publishers are disappointed, HBO is disappointed, my agents and foreign publishers and translators are disappointed... but no one could possibly be more disappointed than me. For months now I have wanted nothing so much as to be able to say, 'I have completed and delivered The Winds of Winter' on or before the last day of 2015. But the book's not done."

"The Winds of Winter," after all it was set to be released in the last quarter of 2015. Martin confirmed that "The Winds of Winter" will not be out before "Game of Thrones" season 6 premieres earlier this month.

"I always do a lot of rewriting, sometimes just polishing, sometimes pretty major restructures," Martin shared.

"Game of Thrones" Season 6 is slated to return to the airwaves on April 24, 2016.
