YouTube: George R. R. Martin, the acclaimed author of the Game of Thrones novels -- also a recent hit HBO series -- came to Google for a live-streamed interview where he answered your questions submitted online. The interview, part of the Authors@Google series as well as Martin's book tour promoting his latest novel A Dance with Dragons, took place on July 28th at 12pm PDT.

Martin is a bestselling author most famous for his A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy series of novels that has been adapted to the popular HBO drama Game of Thrones. Time magazine has dubbed him an "American Tolkien". In his series, Martin creates a rich world populated by a large cast of intriguing characters and interwoven storylines.

It should come as no surprise that in addition to technology, Googlers love things like dragons and fantasy worlds, and we also love meeting talented writers like Martin.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was just wondering whether to go ahead and watch this, since I'm going to buy all 4 books in a couple of weeks.

*edit* Lilithia - it would be awesome if you included a SPOILER ALERT somewhere high up in the video description and/or the tags!

That was a great QA session. That question about wargs, judging from Martin's reaction, I think the asker's on to something.
