Jealous Much

I am the first to admit to reading every single Harry Potter book cover-to-cover and loving every minute of it, but is this newly announced spin-off tome of Ms. Rowling's reeks of post-book-series-partum depression. Coincidental that the publication is announced at the peak of Stephenie Meyer mania? I think not. Perhaps Rowling just read one to many "move over J.K. Rowling" Twilight reviews and just couldn't take it anymore. Yes, the book sales will benefit the Childrens High Level Group charity, but there's more to be made from publishing glory than just cold hard cash. I imagine at this point the taste of the limelight is a hotter commodity for the writer that has it all.
