Twitter Outs J.K. Rowling As Crime Novelist

The Cuckoo's Calling has been kicked out of the nest a little earlier than anticipated, thanks to a mysterious London-based Tweeter.

If you've heard of The Cuckoo's Calling, a crime novel by Robert Galbraith, you're either a fan of obscure first time writers, or you happen to know - as a London-based Twitter user apparently did - that Galbraith is actually J.K. Rowling, of Harry Potter fame. Rowling had been using Galbraith as an alias, and had hoped that the deception might carry on for a while longer, but it was not to be. Sunday Times columnist India Knight got the tip from someone known only as Jude Callegari - whose Rowling Tweets have since been deleted - and once Knight got hold of the story, Rowling's anonymity was a thing of the past.

"I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer, because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience," said Rowling. "It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation, and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name." Not that many people were reading The Cuckoo's Calling before this revelation; it sold 1,500 copies, hardcover and ebook, but that was it. No doubt that will change, and Galbraith's second novel - due next year - will get a much wider audience. Nobody seems to know who Jude Callegari is or how Callegari knew Rowling's secret. The account is two years old and hasn't often been used, except for the usual trivia and pictures. Callegari obviously lives in London, and Rowling's publishers are based at Victoria Embankment, but that's a slender thread at best to connect the two.

Is it any good, you ask? Well, not having read it, I can't judge. But if you were wondering what the Harry Potter writer was up to in her spare time, there's an eBook out there which you may be interested in.

China says Japan defence paper 'ignores facts': Xinhua

China has lashed out at Japan over an official defence report by Tokyo, calling it untruthful and wrongly labelling Beijing a threat, state media reported on Friday.

The new Japanese defence white paper is the first since a long-simmering dispute with China and Taiwan over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea heated up last year.

It "deliberately ignores facts and plays up 'China's military threat'", the state-run Xinhua news agency quoted Chinese defence ministry spokesman Geng Yansheng as saying.

The document, approved by Tokyo on Tuesday, is an annual report on Japan's defence capabilities and regional security.

It rebuked Beijing for behaviour Tokyo said could trigger an incident.

"China... has taken action described as coercive, which includes risky behaviour," the report said.

Examples included intrusions into Japan's territorial waters and violation of airspace "and even dangerous actions that could cause a contingency", it said.

China has the world's largest military and has dramatically increased its capabilities in recent years, with its first aircraft carrier going into service in 2012.

Geng called China's conduct legitimate in safeguarding national sovereignty and said that Japan's paper made groundless accusations.

He also described China as being on a peaceful development path.

Japan administers the Senkaku islands, though Beijing claims them for itself as the Diaoyu and Taiwan also declares ownership.

Tensions have spiked in the past year and have led to Chinese and Japanese ships and aircraft playing cat and mouse with each other.

The white paper said Japanese fighters were scrambled more than 300 times against Chinese planes flying near Japan's airspace in the year to March, a new record.

It reiterated accusations a Chinese frigate locked weapons-targeting radar on a Japanese destroyer in January -- a claim Beijing has previously denied.

Since coming to power in December, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has cast doubt on Japan's commitment to pacifism enshrined in a constitution imposed on the country by the United States after the Second World War.

Abe's calls for constitutional revision have raised the ire of neighbouring China, South Korea and North Korea, where memories of Japanese military and colonial occupation remain sensitive.
