J.K. Rowling began her press tour of The Casual Vacancy in New York on Monday morning, when she was interviewed by Gayle King and Charlie Rose for CBS This Morning. The Harry Potter author once again admitted she will probably never write another book based on her most famous character, and how teen angst played a bit part in her first novel for adults. Highlights on that, and how emotional Rowling felt upon the love she received from fans, can be seen here.

"The Casual Vacancy" touches on themes of class and poverty and Rowling says she was drawn to the subjects after "having been very poor," as a single mother on welfare.

She admits that while she was aware of the pressure coming off of the wild success of the "Harry Potter" series -- "that people were expecting and waiting" for her next big book -- she relished "having a private world in my head again that no one knew about," while writing "The Casual Vacancy."
