Oke. Ik wist niet waar ik dit zou moeten plaatsen, dus ik plaats het hier omdat dit Topic er over gaat wat JK. na Boek 7 zal gaan doen:

Report: Harry Potter author working on Scottish crime novel
The Associated Press Published: August 18, 2007


LONDON: Pen and notebook in hand in Edinburgh cafes, author J.K. Rowling has been spotted working on her latest work: a detective novel, a British newspaper reported Saturday.

The British author, who famously wrote initial drafts of her boy wizard story in the Scottish city's coffee houses, is turning her hand to crime fiction, the Sunday Times newspaper reported.

It said that Ian Rankin, a fellow author and neighbor of Rowling, told a reporter at an Edinburgh literary festival that the writer had recently been seen at work in local cafes.

"My wife spotted her writing her Edinburgh criminal detective novel," the newspaper, which was available late Saturday, quoted Rankin as saying.

Rankin, famous for his own police novels set in the historic Scottish city, said he had not discussed the project with Rowling personally, and declined to reveal how he had learned about her plans.

"It is great that she has not abandoned writing or Edinburgh cafes," Rankin said.

When Rowling created Harry Potter, she was a struggling single mother who wrote in cafes to save on the heating bill at home. Now Britain's richest woman — worth US$1 billion (€720 million), according to Forbes magazine — her seven Potter books have sold more than 335 million copies worldwide.

In an interview with The Associated Press last month, Rowling said she believed she was unlikely to repeat the success of the series, but confirmed she planned to work on new books.

"I'll do exactly what I did with Harry — I'll write what I really want to write," Rowling said.

The office of Rowling's literary agent Christopher Little was not immediately available to comment late Saturday.


Dit is een gerucht en nog niet bevestigd door JK. zelf of door haar Literaere agent. Ook is nog niks bekend over de Encyclopedie, alleen het feit dat JK. deze waarschijnlijk zal gaan schrijven.
