Bookworms, assemble. Famed writer J.K. Rowling sent fans in a frenzy when she revealed via her official Twitter account that she's writing two new novels.
Rowling has previously admitted in an interview with Time that Harry Potter's tale has reached its conclusion, but that she would still continue writing novels. This year, Rowling did resume writing, but her completed projects were more suited for viewing than for reading; she produced and wrote the screenplay for "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", and assisted Jack Thorne in writing the script for the stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."
The author took time off from writing on Wednesday morning to respond to questions from fans. One tweeted to ask when they can expect new books and Rowling replied that she was working on one "literally." She only took a Twitter break because she's been writing since 5:55 in the morning. She added that she's "always working on a novel" because "it's my thing."
When another fan asked whether those projects would under her own name or Rowling's pseudonym, Robert Galbraith, the author disclosed that she's writing "one of each," although she is "unsure which will come out first." She did not disclose details on the Rowling book, so it is unknown whether the novel will be set as another Harry Potter spin-off such as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." On the other hand, the Galbraith novel will most likely be the fourth installment in her "Cormoran Strike" crime thriller series, following "Career of Evil" which was published in 2015.
Rowling also threw in a bone for fans of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" - she revealed that there will be no new books featuring Newt Scamander, "only movies." Earlier in October, Travelers Today reported that the author is planning to write five more scripts that will continue Newt Scamander's story in the hit fantasy film.
