J.K. Rowling's crime novel was submitted under Robert Galbraith pseudonym and even her publishers did not know it was really hers.
Titled "The Cucko's Calling," it was published in 2013 and received rave reviews under the "new" author category but not long after, it was revealed that Rowling, the woman behind the magical world of Harry Potter, was actually the author of the book.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Rowling meant to keep Robert Galbraith's identity a secret but since she was outed as the same person, she doesn't mind discussing it openly anymore but given a choice, she would have preferred to keep it quiet.
In an interview with NPR's Morning Edition, Rowling admitted that her publishers did not know who she was when they first saw "The Cucko's Calling." She has already released her third book under the same pseudonym, this time titled, "Career of Evil."
The famous author said in the same interview 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."
Speaking of Harry Potter, another news that has been making the headlines lately. As per Wikipedia, the "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," a two-part West End by stage play playwright Jack Thorne, is one evidence of the huge and continuous succees of the Harry Potter series. The stage play is based on the books written by Rowling and Thorne, to be directed by John Tifanny. It is set to hit the stage next year, July 2016, with the official synopsis released on Oct. 23. The play picks up 19 years after the conclusion of the last intallment of the movie titled, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
