"Use a pseudonym like the other JK used to do", said Dumbledore to Harry...

I have of course ordered The Cuckoo's Calling and am delighted that so many reviewers, not knowing Bob Galbraith was JK Rowling, have given it rave reviews (which they didn't do - but should have - for The Casual Vacancy).

Further justification for my conclusion back in 1997 that this was a damn good new writer.

"JK Rowling recorded two dubstep albums as Burial

The 47-year-old recorded two albums of gritty, introspective dubstep under the name Burial while also writing the Harry Potter books. She was nominated for a Mercury Music Award but didn’t turn up.

Rowling said: “My label advised me to keep my identity secret because dance music producers aren’t supposed to look like assistant headmistresses.”

She added: “I only wrote Harry Potter because I was trying to get enough money together for studio equipment and a better laptop.”"

Good old Amazon - and congratulations to the publishers; not only has my Cuckoo's Calling arrived today but the dust jacket says "Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for JK Rowling..." etc etc...

Good speedy work... unless it was planned (in which case, good plan).
