| | JKR to write another kids book?
The Times newspaper has quoted segments from an interview with J.K.Rowling and Stephen Fry which will be aired by BBC Radio 4 at 9am on December 10th. In the quotes JKR refers to a book which she has worked on which is aimed at younger children.
"There is another book that's sort of smouldering in a cupboard that I quite like which is for slightly younger children. There are other things I'd like to write. But I'll need to find a good pseudonym."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ottery St. Catchpole Gryffindor Third Year | I'll wait...I'm waiting for book 7 aren't I? LOL Paris & Kellybear r luv :Read Otty 's fics:Gone With the Wind:I♥Rupert I don't think she could ever top Harry Potter so I'm really not too concerned to read anything she writes next, and if she wants to keep it such a big secret that's fine too. You have to realize it's sophomore jitters...she's worried she's not going to top the success of her first series. Uhm, it's likely you're not... still you'd think she'd be happy...HP is IT. I mean, books don't get bigger than HP...well except the Bible but that one came over a thousand years ago so...*fires the cannons* Shakespeare doesn't count cuz they're plays... Someday it'll be out what books she wrote, when all the HP hubbub dies down. Who's to say she hasn't already published a book already?

I agree with Ottery,I'm not too fused about this.
But if she shouts and exclaims she writing a book more mature story then..I'll see.

So she want to publish another but under a different name? Clever. That way her new book won't have all this hype and expectations...hehehe although we will probably know about it! |

Cool she could write a book about a rabbit named Rabbit. She could title the book Rabbit. But no, that would be pretty boring.

I don't care what her future books would be about...as long she wrote it, I'll read it. It'll be interesting to see JKR venture into something outside of Potter.

I would definatly read any book by her but I'd have to think to myself "it's not going to be like Harry Potter" I would be different I love to see what she will come up with next

Kool! I wonder if it will be as good as the Harry Potter books. Or if she will able make a book without magic. Oh well, it will probably be pretty good all the same. I'll definately be one of the first people to buy it! I hope that it will be for older kids.
