Haha! Maybe she would;)

Yes, I knew but only because I read in the paper "does she have a team of ghost writers who do the hard yards for her?" Apparently this question has risen because of the pure volume of stuff she churns out.

The Cuckoo's Calling is on special on diesel ebooks for US$9.15

Does she churn out a volume of stuff? Have I missed something? Since Harry Potter there has only been The Casual Vacancy and this latest one hasn't there?

Do you have your authors mixed up Bette? As Phrynne said, she's only written the Harry Potter series, then The Casual Vacancy earlier this year, which was her first away from the HP genre?

Under pseudonym she releasedThe Cuckoo's Calling

Yikes, she says, cowering here her old flannel pj's as she reads responses.

Definitely read in The Age and definitely was about JK Rowling. I remember because I was surprised when I read it. That's where I read about The Cuckoo's Calling. In an editorial, it said there was a school of thought that she used ghost writers.

Sorry Phrynne, if you are a fan and thought you'd missed something.

I'm very sorry if you misinterpeted my comment Bette. I intended to query the person who wrote the article -not you!

Phrynne, no sweat! I was only joking about the cowering... part:) Maybe I needed to put a 'haha' after that.
I should have replied singularly to you. Saying "sorry, if you're a fan...."

Perhaps I needed to mentioned it was an editorial only.

I love them Phrynne:) I've just finished the short story ebook Bones In Her Pocket ..it was great. I can't wait to read Bones of the Lost

Yes - it's in the Four Seasons Hotel. It's a big event with a yummy three course meal and wine followed by Kathy Reichs speaking - probably about her new book! Stuart MacBride is also on in September. I have not read anything by him yet but I will probably still go along to see him.
