Fans thirsty for new work from J.K. Rowling—rejoice! We'll be getting some relatively soon. According to The Telegraph, Rowling is planning to release another crime novel under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, after the first novel she released under the name, The Cuckoo's Calling, was a surprise hit. The novel, a sequel to The Cuckoo's Calling titled The Silkworm, will see the return of PI Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott from the first novel, and will be released on June 19, through her publisher Little, Brown.

Rowling's identity as Galbraith was revealed last year after she went through lengths to keep it hidden—reportedly, the friend of the wife of one of her lawyers leaked the information on Twitter. Rowling sued after her identity was leaked, and subsequently donated the damages she was awarded to charity.
