J.K. Rowling also writes under a pen name of "Robert Galbraith", publishing over half a dozen titles under that name, most of which have TV adaptations.
Robert Galbraith Heath was the American Psychiatrist who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapy to convert homosexuals through electro-shock therapy.

Thank you, very interesting.
I wonder if she gave any excuses.

'"I thought it had probably leaked from the BBC," the author said, adding she had feared someone at the corporation had "put two and two together".
Rowling's secret identity was actually revealed after a partner at a law firm told his wife's best friend.
The friend then revealed Rowling's identity to a Sunday Times journalist.
"I was a bit unlucky the way it happened," the Harry Potter creator told BBC Radio 2's Graham Norton.'

@freemo @ned @toxomat Wikipedia says it was "...a name she took from Robert F. Kennedy, a personal hero, and Ella Galbraith, a name she invented for herself in childhood."
Maybe, maybe not.
🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Would be easy to confirm. If she made it up in childhood I would expect there to be some record of that somewhere.
🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Do you have a reference to that conversation? or was it in the other link? I'd love to see her try to explain why there is no record of that name.
Ned Yeung
She claims, "I don't know why", because the name just appeared out of nowhere, apparently. :D
🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Ha! let me try to find that then, thanks.
Ned Yeung
It is in the link from her own website for Robert Galbraith!
🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
Asking for a source is not the same as claiming something isnt true.
I'm sure it is, especially now that people have given a source.

@freemo @toxomat @ned it is very, very well known that that's her pen name.
🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱
I politely asked for a source, no snark and when the op responded we had a pleasant exchange both ways. Only people i was snarky with were people other than the op who were snarky first.

@freemo @toxomat @ned you didn't just ask, you snarked a load of snark at the person you 'asked' after the fact, when it is not commonplace to cite things that are in the public consciousness widely already. This is social media, not a journal. They weren't making a claim that people haven't already largely backed up for themselves.
If you're honestly asking because you don't know (and not looking it up yourself for some reason), you don't have to be an ass about it.
