“We’re stoked to hear George R.R. Martin got our message and loves New Zealand as much as we do.
“His blog mentions he’s been moved by our offer to bring him to New Zealand to finish off his novels but thinks our beautiful country will in fact distract him too much and he will continue to write in Westeros for now. He has though promised to have ‘The Winds of Winter’ in hand for a visit planned for 2020.”
