George Raymond Martin was born in Bayonne, New Jersey, USA, on September 20, 1948 – his zodiac sign is Virgo and he is an American national. He is perhaps best known for his series of novels “A Song of Ice and Fire”, on which the popular fantasy series “Game of Thrones” is based.

George was raised in Bayonne alongside his sisters Darleen and Janet by their mother Margaret Brady Martin and their father Raymond Collins Martin who was a longshoreman. The family grew wealthy, but after losing everything during the Great Depression, they became very poor. Since George wanted to travel but couldn’t afford it, he decided to read books because he had heard somewhere that reading books can be the same as travelling.

He started writing and selling countless monster stories to his neighbors for a penny, and was great at creating “endless stories” that would go on and on and would never end. He attended Mary Jane Donohoe School before transferring to Marist High School where he began reading comic books and became a huge fan of Marvel Comics. He then attended Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism in 1970, while earning his Master of Science degree in 1971. of the Vietnam War, but objected and volunteered for two years with AmeriCorps VISTA.

George went on to teach English at Clarke University before deciding to work as a full-time writer in 1977 – the cause of which was the death of his best friend, which made him think about what he really wanted to do in life. He is known to be very accessible to his fans and is a frequent contributor to his “Not a Blog” blog, while appearing at every comic book and sci-fi convention in the US.

George has only been criticized for one thing – for taking too long between books in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, as six years elapsed between his fourth and fifth books, but he has explained that he is not only targeting on a single book, but always works on multiple volumes.
