Rowling announces title, plot, release date of her upcoming book

shortformblog:

‘The Casual Vacancy’ will go on sale September 27th, 2012 and marks the author’s first departure from the wizard-world of Harry Potter since the series took the world by storm. Rowling’s publisher, Little Brown, also released a summary of the new story’s plot: “When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.” source

thedailywhat: Breaking J.K. Rowling News of the Day: News from the industry vine this morning is that J.K. Rowling has officially signed a book deal with Little, Brown, and will soon be releasing her highly anticipated Harry Potter follow up. No word yet on title, plot, or publication date, but word is that the book’s target audience will be adults. “Although I’ve enjoyed writing it every bit as much, my next book will be very different to the Harry Potter series,” said the author in a press release. The freedom to explore new territory is a gift that Harry’s success has brought me, and with that new territory it seemed a logical progression to have a new publisher. I am delighted to have a second publishing home in Little, Brown, and a publishing team that will be a great partner in this new phase of my writing life. [galleycat.]
