Recently, It was revealed by author Ian Rankin, a friend of JK Rowling, author of the much awarded
"Harry Potter" book series, has revealed startling new evidence concerning his fellow author. He announced on BBC radio that the last time he saw JKR, he noted that she was working hard on a HP encyclopedia, an encyclopedia, she claimed, she was not planning on releasing anytime soon, after a enlonged court trial. The reason of this trial being that a fan of the series, named Steven Vander Ark, announced his intentions of releasing a dictionary strikingly similar to the encyclopedia manuscript JKR herself admitted to be writting. After much deliberation, the judge ruled in favor of JKR. But Steven Vander Ark published his book, however, but on the cover of the book was a notice decreeing that the book was unauthorized.
The trial took a heavy toll on Ms Rowling however, and she announced her intent to delay work and/or publication of her encyclopedia.
But appearantly, JKR could not resist the urge to once again pick up her pen and paper. And many of the fans agree with this.
Once an author, evermore an author.
