World-famous author George R.R. Martin, whose book saga, "A Song of Ice and Fire," inspired the HBO hit TV series, "Game of Thrones," has set a meeting with book editors, publishers and agents, fueling speculation that "The Winds of Winter" is coming out soon.

Through his online journal, the writer notified his millions of followers that he will be attending a private event in August. His post on his web diary reads:

"The boys of summer better take heed -- winter is coming to Staten Island on August 8. And where there is winter, there are direwolves.

"So I'm headed east the first week of August... for a wedding, yes, and no, that's private, so you don't get to hear any more about it... but I am going to see my editors and publishers and agents while I am in town, and do some other fun stuff... including a ball game.

"That's the night the Staten Island Direwolves will be playing the Lannister Lions. "

For any fan who is reading his journal for clues about his books, the "meeting" taking place in August could mean anything, really. First, the sixth installment might be nearing completion and it might be released in time for the GoT TV series Season 6 airing in Spring 2016, as Entertainment Weekly informed, or he will just spend some time with his colleagues and nothing more.

The author has already sacrificed a lot to focus on his writing as noted in previous reports and personal posts. For example, he opted not to attend the San Diego Comic-Con, which for him was the "right decision." So, based on his past interviews and timeline of events, August seems to be the perfect month to catch up with people involved in a book's publishing, don't you think?

But, for now, fans who are in dire need of reading worthwhile books may take a leaf from Martin's book, so to speak. Martin, aside from being a great writer, is also a true-blue avid reader as well.

He recommended Eric Larson's "real page-turner" and "thoroughly engrossing" bestseller, "Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of Lusitania," and Ernie Cline's "long-awaited new novel," "Armada" which he described as "a paean to the videogames of a bygone era" and "hugely entertaining." Martin also liked Paula Hawkins' mega-bestseller "The Girl on the Train," which he said to be "a strong story, with a great sense of time and place" and had him "from start to finish." He also advised to look for Marko Kloos' "Angles of Attack," a book that "might actually have an outside chance at earning a genuine Hugo nod solely on its merits," said Martin.

Better yet, fans may attend the baseball game with a Winterfell v. Casterly Rock theme in New York on August 8, between The Staten Island Yankees who will be called the Staten Island Direwolves that night and the Hudson Valley Renegades who will be sporting red and gold motif of the House Lannister.

Early birds or the first 2,500 fans to attend will receive a free baseball cap with the Direwolf logo, stated Martin.
