George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice of Fire, an epic fantasy novel series adapted into HBO's dramatic series Game of Thrones, has joined Twitter on Monday.
Writing under the handle @GRRMspeaking, Martin published just one (slightly disappointing) tweet so far, saying he doesn't tweet much and pointing users to his LiveJournal page.
I don't tweet all that much, please check out my live journal page. ;) #myfirstTweet— George RR Martin (@GRRMspeaking) June 9, 2014
Martin's publishing house Random House has confirmed that @GRRMspeaking is actually Martin's Twitter account.
Are you following a #GRRM impersonator? We can officially announce that @GRRMspeaking is the real deal (though he won't be tweeting much)...— Random House (@atrandom) June 9, 2014
Though he may not be big on Twitter, Martin really is very active on his LiveJournal blog, having already posted eight times in June.
