JK Rowling Is Also A Man - Kind Of

Over the weekend, The Sunday Times blew the cover on JK Rowling. She had written an amazing crime novel called The Cuckoo's Calling and the author was supposedly a retired policeman named Robert Galbraith. The Times says they were suspicious because the book was so well written, they had hard time believing it was written by a first time author. The book had only sold 1500 copies at the time the story broke that it was actually written by JK Rowling. The sales of the book have now risen 150,000% and is now the #1 book on Kindle.  Hmm, so maybe this was not just a Sunday Times thing, but also a publishing house thing. If you are a publisher, maybe you want to sell some more books and you have someone leak something to the press and the next thing you know you have a big seller. JK says she is disappointed that someone found out because she enjoyed the freedom of writing as someone else.
