    George R. R. Martin is the creator of A Song of Ice and Fire, one of the most well-known book series
    of today, which includes 1996’s ‘Game of Thrones.’ Martin was born in 1948, and grew up in New
    Jersey (the USA). He has loved writing since he was young. Dying of the Light (1977) was his first
    novel. One year later, he published his first instalment of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
    Martin’s early years were not spent far from home, but his imagination took him to many
    places. He liked to watch suspense TV series. As he declared himself a conscientious objector during
    the Vietnam War, he had to work with the Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation as part of his
    alternative service from 1973 to 1976. After that, he spent two years as a college lecturer at Clarke
    College in Dubuque, Iowa.
    Maybe A Song of Ice and Fire was not a sudden success, but thanks to marketing, sales
    increased. By the fourth volume, A Feast for Crows, Martin found his work at the top of best-sellers.
    Thanks to the critically acclaimed television adaptation of Game of Thrones, whose creators are
    David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, his literary works were introduced to a bigger audience, which
    debuted in 2011 and eventually won a 2015 Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. Martin has shown
    no mercy to his own characters, killing off main characters and other favourite ones. However, not all
    fans may be happy with such deaths.
