Joanne Rowling better known by her pen name J. K. Rowling is a British author, philanthropist, film producer, television producer, and screenwriter.
The seven-year period that followed saw the death of her mother, birth of her first child, divorce from her first husband, and relative poverty until the first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in 1997. There were six sequels, of which the last was released in 2007. Since then, Rowling has written several books for adult readers: The Casual Vacancy (2012) and—under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith—the crime fiction Cormoran Strike series. In 2020, her “political fairytale” for children, The Ickabog, was released in instalments in an online version.
“When I was a child, I really wanted to be called Ella Galbraith, I’ve no idea why. The name had a fascination for me. I actually considered calling myself L.A. Galbraith for the Strike series, but for fairly obvious reasons decided that initials were a bad idea”, Ms. Rowling said.
