American novelist George RR Martin has taken a page out of his own book and returned from the dead.
Spinning the words behind the dramatic series Game of Thrones, Martin took to his blog to reassure fans he is alive and well, after he was mistakenly confused with the late Beatles producer, George Martin.
"While it is strangely moving to realise that so many people around the world care so deeply about my life and death, I have to go with Mark Twain and insist that the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated," he said.
"It was Sir George Martin, of Beatles fame, who has passed away. Not me.
"I am still here, still writing, still editing, still going to movies and reading books, and I expect to hang around for quite a while yet, thank you very much. But thank you all for caring."
