He had grown frustrated that his TV pilots and screenplays were not getting made and that TV-related production limitations like budgets and episode lengths were forcing him to cut characters and trim battle scenes. This pushed Martin back towards writing books where he did not have to worry about compromising the size of his imagination. Admiring the works of J. R. R. Tolkien in his childhood he wanted to write an epic fantasy though he did not have any specific ideas. This would eventually turn into his epic fantasy series: A Song of Ice and Fire which was inspired by the Wars of the Roses The Accursed Kings and Ivanhoe. Martin originally conceptualised it as being three volumes. It is currently intended to comprise seven volumes. The first A Game of Thrones was published in 1996." .
