Um, err. I've never heard of this wheel you speak of.
Actually, no one in particular. Just a few that seem to put crap out just to publish once, or even twice, a year.

Wamu, I also didn't discover the series until after Storm of Swords was out. I still wish the next book would come out soon though. Ah well....I just hope it is done before he dies of old age.
And Scott, there is no way he is going to kick out the final 3 books over the next 4 years. I am guessing a book this year, and another book every 5 years. That means the final book will be out around 2017.

A Game of Thrones: 1996 A Clash of Kings: 1999 A Storm of Swords: 2000 A Feast for Crows: 2005 A Dance with Dragons: 2007 (?)
Even with the five years between Swords and Crows he's averaging less than 2.5 years between books. That does put it close to not making it for 2011. Of course, I'm not sure if the 2011 date is his own mandate or the publishers. But I would think he'd be cutting his own throat, after the HBO deal, to not finish sooner. Who knows though. Maybe we won't even see the series start until 2010.

Hey just like the 5th beetle this guy has my name. I'm Jorge Martinez/George Martin. I will have to check out his work.

The Hedge Knight comic by George R.R. Martin. It's an adaption of a novella set 100 years or so before Game of Thrones. There's a sequel now, too.
I just ordered the hardbound collection of Hedge Knight. I'll probably wait for the same release of the sequel.
Loving Game of Thrones so far. Had to spend the last few hours in the ER with Mom again so I got about another 100 pages read.

A bad case of austiomyolitis (sp?). Going to be on IV antibiotics daily for the next four weeks. But it could be worse. She wasn't scheduled to see her doctor until Friday and by then she could have lost a finger.

Another night in the hospital, another 150 pages read. Hopefully I'll find time to read this when mom isn't in and out of the hospital.
I am so enjoying this book more than anything I've read in a long time. It has even inspired me to hunt down the defunct RPG version and start a campaign with my DnD group based in Westeros.

Scott, my prayers are with you. I am also in total agreement: I have enjoyed reading Martin's Fire & Ice series more than anything I have read in a long time. The series is so rich it stands up to rereading several times. I am currently reading through the series for the 4th(!) time. Hopefully, the next book will be out before the end of the year.

Thanks guys. She's in a care center for 30 days to (hopefully) get this infection cleared up. Seems to be doing a little better just after a couple of days.
On a brighter note, I just got my hardback copy of the Hedge Knight trade. Thinking of cracking it open before finishing AGoT.

I read The Hedge Knight in a collection (somewhere) and just loved it. I didn't know there was a comic until it was linked up in an earlier post. Now I just have to find the trade...and the sequel. Sweet.
