Speaking of...

Speaking of JK Rowling, I don’t believe it for a minute.

I don’t believe that she hasn’t written anything since The Tales of Beedle the Bard was published in 2008. 

She has commented a number of times that any future works would be published under a pseudonym.  In her interview with Oprah last year she mentioned that she will keep writing because she “..literally can’t stop.” Can't stop?  Will use nom de plume?  It begs another, very obvious question:

Has JK Rowling, slipped one out under our very noses?  Is she sitting in her tastefully understated country mansion, grinning like a lunatic at her audacity at having published under another name, without the media catching a sniff of it?  Or is she three-quarters through something?  I think it’s about 80% likely, given her tenacity, her extraordinary storytelling sense, her creative drive. 

You heard the speculation here, first, ladies and gentlemen.

Which leads me to wonder which of the debut offerings on the Bloomsbury catalogue might possibly have a touch of the JK about them?  Any guesses? (I was momentarily excited by this pseudonymous offering, but Ivy appears to have a very good friend called Elizabeth, so probably not).
