JK Rowling has been spotted at cafes in Scotland working on a detective novel, a British newspaper has reported.
The Sunday Times quoted Ian Rankin, a fellow author and neighbour of Rowling, as saying that she is turning to crime fiction. "My wife spotted her writing her Edinburgh criminal detective novel," quoted Rankin. "It is great that she has not stopped writing or Edinburgh cafes," said Rankin, who is known for his own police novels set in the historic Scottish city.
Rowling famously wrote initial drafts of the Potter story in the Scottish city's cafes. Back then, she was a struggling single mother who wrote in cafes to save on the heating bill at home. Now, she's Britain's richest woman-worth $1 billion, according to Forbes-and her seven Potter books have sold more than 335 million copies worldwide.
