About the author

George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.

Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.

In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.

As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.

In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.

Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.

Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

列王的纷争，告一段落。野人南下，凛冬将至。看小说，更容易代入角色的处境，然后理解他们从自身处境出发作出的举动和决定，尤其对于非主角角色。读的时候一直在想，马丁是怎么做到给那么多的家族的很多人起不同的名字的？！并且还有绰号，还有各种不同的鲜明的体貌特征、和体貌特征相关的人生脉络，就跟真的一样。长城上的黑衣人领袖们，有点国产电视剧主角的味儿，正义光明，淡泊潇洒，舍生忘死。断掌科林就那么死了，他死前还答应雪诺要告诉熊老莫尔蒙雪诺是作为卧底的假背叛，结果他让雪诺把自己杀了，哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，雪诺可真是个大傻瓜啊，怪不得每个人都对他说：JohnSnow, you know nothing。

即便大爱剧集，这原著还是有点坚持不下去了。写第二部的马丁老爷子已经全然没有了第一部的锐气，情节略拖沓也就算了，说故事的节奏也很别扭。隐约散发出了一股为史诗而史诗的味道啊……
