J.K. Rowlingrevealed during an interview with BBC Radio 2’sSimon Mayo that she has been working on a new children’s book. Other than her intention to complete this project, she has not shared any other information.
The discussion that unfolded between Mayo and Rowling primarily focused on the latest Robert Galbraithcrime fiction book, Career of Evil. When he asked her whether or not she plans to write under the name J.K. Rowling ever again in the future, she answered affirmatively and unveiled the news.
Here’s an excerpt from Rowling’s response: “Actually, I have written part of a children’s book that I really love so I’m definitely going to finish that and I have ideas for other adult books…I sometimes worry I’ll die before I’ve written them all out. That’s my mid-life crisis.” (via Mashable)
J.K. Rowling has revealed why she took on the pseudonym Robert Galbraith and what it felt like to be discovered in a new interview with NPR.
Rowling explained her act to NPR host David Greene. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
I think that Potter was incredible, and I am so grateful for what happened with Harry Potter, and that needs to be said. The relationship I had with those readers, and still have with those readers is so valuable to me. Having said that, there was a phenomenal amount of pressure that went with being the writer of Harry Potter, and that aspect of publishing those books I do not particularly miss. So you can probably understand the appeal of going away and creating something very different, and just letting it stand or fall on its own merits.
We’ve collected the books debuting on Indiebound’s Indie Bestseller List for the week ending Oct. 25, 2015–a sneak peek at the books everybody will be talking about next month.
(Debuted at #1 in Hardcover Fiction) Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham: “Sebastian Rudd is not your typical street lawyer. He works out of a customized bulletproof van, complete with Wi-Fi, a bar, a small fridge, fine leather chairs, a hidden gun compartment, and a heavily armed driver. He has no firm, no partners, no associates, and only one employee, his driver, who’s also his bodyguard, law clerk, confidant, and golf caddy.” (Oct. 2015)
(Debuted at #3 in Hardcover Fiction) Career of Evil by J.K.Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith: “When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman’s severed leg. Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible–and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.” (Oct. 2015)
(Debuted at #15 in Young Adult) Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: “This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.” (Oct. 2015)

Here’s more from CinemaBlend: “Though she doesn’t outright say that the screenplay she’s working on is Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, it’s probably safe to assume that’s the project she’s tweaking. If we’re interpreting use of the word ‘tweaking’ correctly, it sounds like she might be finalizing the script, adding updates, tightening up the story and/or working in whatever magic Rowling has access to that makes her stories so great.”
