Author News: JK Rowling Had Suffered From Depression
Apparently, best-selling author, JK Rowling, told a student reporter a month ago, about her bouts with depression in her mid-20’s before the success of her Harry Potter books. She even had “suicidal thoughts” and did seek therapy and recovered.
Are we as readers going to continue to get this type of breaking news from Rowling until she publishers her next book or what? Just sayin. Maybe sharing this with her readership will inspire others to seek therapy for depression.

About the author
My name is Keishon and I'm an avid reader of romance, crime fiction and graphic novels. I tend to read all over the map and prefer the older romances from the 90's rather than the new romances of today. I enjoy reading and discussing books and I hope you enjoy your visit here. Some of my favorite authors include but are not limited to Laura Kinsale, Penelope Williamson, Kathleen Eagle, Michael Connelly, Julia Spencer-Fleming and my latest crush is on Nordic crime novelist, Jo Nesbø (start with The Redbreast if interested).
