J.K. Rowling

See also: Robert Galbraith
Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she

Danielle Bryan

I didn’t start writing to become an author—I started writing to get the stories out of my head. One lyric in a song, a random comment overheard in passing—that’s all it takes. Suddenly, I’m somewhere else entirely, inside a world my mind has begun to build. What I didn’t realize at first? Getting one story out only makes room for more. It’s less “creative relief” and more “my brain is a hydra.”

I’m a native Floridian who’s settled in North Central Florida and now works in Ocala. I write emotionally driven, genre-blending fiction under both my name, Danielle Bryan, and the pen name Celestine Quinn, exploring survival, identity, and the ever-shifting line between control and chaos—whether that chaos is magical, psychological, or romantic.
