J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she wrote the
beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, on scraps of
paper at a local cafe. But her efforts soon paid off, as she
received an unprecedented award from the Scottish Arts Council
enabling her to finish the book. Since then, the debut novel has
become an international phenomenon, garnering rave reviews and
major awards, including the British Book Awards Chidren's Book of
the Year and the Smarties Prize. Ms. Rowling lives in Edinburgh
with her daughter.
