I bought the first book for a friend's kids one Christmas and read it first!! Maybe she had already taken off by then, but it seemed she was well known at the time. You would know more than I – its your milieu after all.

Had trouble finding a publisher. Her publisher was a fairly small one and the first book when unnoticed by the media…it wasn't until kids started talking about it that the series started to take off. I think there were 3 published by the time everyone was sitting up and really taking notice.

Rowlings of this world make it to the big time. Do they just happen to catch the imagination of a large public? Or do they manage to get a top notch publisher. She seemed, originally, to come out of nowhere and she is not alone.
