Rowling has also written detective fiction under her own name and the Cormoran Strike series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer.
I like to get in among a set of people and get to know them very well.
