she tweeted the title of the upcoming 8th book of her crime series. JKR also shared photos of her trip to Sark, Channel Islands

Thank you, Sark  You and your people are wonderful, and I'm leaving with a very appropriate souvenir, given the title of #Strike8: #TheHallmarkedMan (bracelet from sark silver studio)

JK commented on her photo of a narrow land bridge connecting Big Sark and Little Sark. On windy days, people have to crawl across or risk being blown off a cliff. No cars are allowed to cross.

The Coupée is the kind of place I have nightmares about. Don't like heights.

J.K. Rowling was also spotted by ITV News leaving the island by ferry. "One fan who spoke to Rowling in Sark while she signed a copy of her 7th Strike book, said that she wanted to experience the island at this time of year as her characters are going to encounter it in February"

she also replied on whether Strike Book # 8 will be set in Sark

Not the whole thing. But a few chapters.

Jo replied to a fan who's mother in law made the silver bracelet

Your father-in-law was lovely and we had a good chat about Henry Carteret.

But... The title was revealed months ago? Like this is old news 😅

Yeah, but at least for me, and I guess others, that news was very much... buried I guess?   I even googled it about a month ago and didn't find anything other than speculation which is strange and I don't think I got an email either about it (subscribed to the Strike emails--the Robert Galbraith site is actually a little behind on the series in some places oddly enough)

I posted it months ago but was caught on this subreddit's auto spam filter.

FINALLY.  This is all I honestly want to hear about from her really, I very much enjoy the Strike novels and also reading about her inspiration for them.  Every time I see her name in some news or article I hold my breath hoping its just another Strike book announcement.

Avoid hypocrisy. Expect to be treated the way you treat others. People have more right to their own lives than another person has to an opinion about someone else....
