JK Rowling has revealed that crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith will eventually outnumber her Harry Potter books.

Rowling, who began using the pseudonym for her crime writing career after completing the Harry Potter series, said the third Robert Galbraith was quite different and one would find out quite a bit more about what happens to people after they leave the military, the BBC reported.

The 48-year-old author asserted that she really loved writing these books and she did not know that she had got an end point in mind.

The Brit novelist further said that one of the things she absolutely love about this genre was that, unlike Harry Potter, where there was an overarching story, a beginning and an end, one was talking about discrete stories. So while a detective lives, one could keep giving him cases.
