Published author JK Rowling specifically cheated to "Harry Potter" to buy the boys

When the release of the first Harry Potter book, the publisher insisted to record the name of JK Rowling on the cover of just initials - so the trick was not to scare from buying boys in a large mass of women who do not like the book authors. And as a writer at birth had no middle name, she chose the name for the initials of his grandmother, Kathleen, and since then it is known in the West as J. K. Rowling.
