George R.R. Martin’s show Dark Winds wins two Vision Awards

Given his hectic schedule following the premiere of the Game of Thrones TV series, George R. R. Martin, who has always been busy, was unable to finish all of the books he had planned for the series. However, this does not stop him from following his other ventures, that not only include Game of Thrones spinoffs, but other TV shows like Dark Winds that are growing in popularity.

Martin recently announced on his blog, Not A Blog, that his AMC show Dark Winds won two awards, which includes one for Best Show. He wrote:

“Awards season is upon us, and I am pleased to report that DARK WINDS has won two Vision Awards, given annually by the National Association of Multi-Ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC).

And DARK WINDS itself was voted the Best Drama Series.”
