A fan on Twitter asked J.K. Rowling if she was working on any new novels at the moment, and Rowling, of course, responded in the positive.

J.K. ROWLING CURRENTLY WRITING TWO NOVELS

After the first, Rowling answered a string of questions about what she’s currently working on.

I’m working on it (literally). And thank you! https://t.co/vA6CZcVhRW

No, no, no. There won’t be Newt Scamander novels. Only movies. Calm down, there! https://t.co/Zyhim6Wscd

One of each, but I’m not sure which will come out first. I’ll let you know as soon as I do! https://t.co/gFF8UZmq5W

So there you have it. While Rowling is writing the screenplays for a total of five films based on her Harry Potter character Newt Scamander and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, she is also writing two new novels simultaneously – one as Rowling, one as her pen name Robert Galbraith.
