And what impresses me the most is that she's so prolific, because Casual Vacancy has also just been published.

As it is, unless libraries and bookstores place that book under her name, quite a few readers may remain blissfully unaware that JK

I'm not a published writer, but I can readily imagine wanting to separate one kind of writing from another, and doing that by publishing under a different name.
