Rowling (pronounced rolling), her name, before her remarriage, was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers asked that she use two initials rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K (for Kathleen) as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother.She calls herself Jo.Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiryshe gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowlingand her entry in Whos Who lists her name also as Joanne Kathleen Rowling. 　　jkrowling英文个人简介：Life and career 　　Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer,and Anne Rowling (ne Volant), a science technician,on 31 July 1965in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol.Her parents first met on a train departing from Kings Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964.They married on 14 March 1965.
