J.K. Rowling announces future publication of new book for adults!

J.K. Rowling has deal for new novel for adults - Yahoo! Movies

The title and release date have not been set, but she has signed a deal with Little Brown and Co. to publish it. All we know is that it is a book for adults, and that more details will be forthcoming.

 

She also has closed her website so that it can be "refreshed and renovated" for the new book. she says it will relaunch this spring. I suspect that might be our first clue to what we will be in for, since she says the book is not going to be offically announced until later this year.

I kind of suspect that she might have already turned it in, and they are editing it for a fall release. That way, she can clue us into the existance and impending announcement of a publication date, but she is not going to have to crash edit the thing in six months.

 

it depends on the fairness of the expectations.

Rowling has hinted that she doesnt see herself writing more fantasy since she feels (or at least felt at that time) that she had already used up all her good fantasy ideas, and anything she tries to do might overlap with Harry's world, which she does not want to do).

If someone is expecting another fantasy, that would be a unfair expectation.

I suspect that she, having spent over five years between the publication of deathly hallows and this new book, will have taken her time to do it right.

She is extensive in her planning, and her character development.

No doubt, it will take an adjustment period to get into the story, because we will have expectations based on our experince in the past of her writing, but thats to be expected anyways.

 

there is a song that has no notes at all. it is just a person sitting at a piano for like three and a half minutes, their hands hovering over the keys, unmoving... and it is considered a work of high art.

 

I hope they fix the kindle book price... it is two dollars more expensive than the hard cover is. I wont pay 20 bucks for a ebook!!!
