Robert, We Hardly Knew Ye


   He is a she.
   Three copies of The Cuckoo's Calling are available at my town's library. The novelist is supposedly Robert Galbraith. That name is a pseudonym. The author is J.K. Rowling. She is famous for penning children's novels. This latest book of hers is a mystery targeting an adult readership.
  Her authorship was divulged shortly after publication. It wasn't Rowling's intention. She wanted this novel to rise on its own merits.
   Some people don't sharpen their swords after achieving success. They loose their edge. Not J.K. Rowling. The sight of her adult mystery books inspires me. They symbolize innovation happening after success, not before.
