J.K. Rowling to Follow Harry Potter with a Mystery

Author J.K. Rowling has been spotted working on her next book --reportedly a mystery -- in Edinburgh cafes.

Rowling famously wrote the initial drafts of the Potter story in the Scottish city's cafes when she was a struggling single mother. Then it was born out necessity to save on the family's heating bill.

Today she is Britain's richest woman — worth more than $1 billion, according to Forbes magazine.

In an interview with The Associated Press last month, Rowling confirmed she had plans to work on new books although she doesn't expect to recreate the success of the Potter books

"I'll do exactly what I did with Harry — I'll write what I really want to write," Rowling said.
