It's a bit late in the day, but today is still George R.R. Martin's birthday.
As I write his name I feel like the addition of "Sir" or something similar should be required, perhaps "Ser", but his being an American such honourifics are not applicable.
For those of you unfamiliar with Martin's work, he's the bestselling author of the A Song of Ice and Fire series and the related Tales of Dunk and Egg novellas. He's also the editor of a number of science-fiction and fantasy anthologies and the Wild Card series, as well as a writer and producer of the television shows Beauty and the Beast (1988-89) and A Game of Thrones (2011-present), which is in fact based on the ASoIaF novels.
This is a man who has done a great deal for fantasy in the last few decades, and hopefully will continue to do more. Happy birthday, Mr. Martin.
