Subject: about JK Rowling Author: contributor [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:23:16 01/10/03 Fri J.K. Rowling Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born on July 31st, 1965 in Chipping Sodbury, near Bristol, England. She had very little money before her success with the Harry Potter series, and the idea of the boy wizard only dawned on Jo while on a train to London. Since then, she has graduated from Exeter with a degree in French, worked as a teacher and given birth to a daughter with her first husband Jorges Arantes. She was very poor before her success with the Harry Potter series, living in a tiny flat in Scotland, and began writing Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone on a notepad in an Edinburgh caf“ª Nicolson's. In 1997 Bloomsbury Publishing took interest in her story, and it was soon bought and published. It was an instant success, winning numerous awards and topping the booklists. J.K Rowling plans to release a total of seven books, each of which document a year in the life of Harry Potter as he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The Harry Potter series are unquestionably the best-selling books of the decade, and JK Rowling has become one of the most famous writers of all time. She recently moved to a new home in Scotland, with her newly wed husband Dr. Neil Murray - they are now expecting a baby after marrying on Boxing Day 2001.
