Photo of a young George Raymond Richard Martin sitting on a sofa in 1976, the year he completed his first novel, Dying of the Light. Despite being able to sell his science fiction short stories, he still did not have the means to write full time. This led to a short stint as a tournament director for a chess association which gave him additional income so he can write more. But it was in 1996 when Martin came up with the first novel of his A Song of Ice and Fire series, called Game of Thrones, that he would capture the world’s attention, culminating in HBO’s adaptation of Game of Thrones, which would become one of the biggest and most popular series in television history.
