J. K. Rowling is one of the smartest and most compassionate people in the world. The author is wildly rich for writing the HARRY POTTER series, but she never forgets her life as a single mother in poverty. As a result, she continues to selflessly donate money to charity!
Recently it was revealed that the author of THE CUCKOO’S CALLING, Robert Galbraith, was actually J. K. Rowling in disguise. If that didn’t shock people enough, Rowling has admitted that she will be donating all royalties from the sale of THE CUCKOO’S CALLING to charity! Royalties will be donated to the Soldiers’ Charity for three years.
“This donation is being made to The Soldiers’ Charity partly as a thank you to the Army people who helped me with research, but also because writing a hero who is a veteran has given me an even greater appreciation and understanding of exactly how much this charity does for ex-servicemen and their families, and how much that support is needed,” Rowling stated.
Rowling also revealed that she had always intended to donate the royalties of “Robert Galbraith,” but didn’t expect THE CUCKOO’S CALLING to become a best-seller just three months after being published!
