JK Rowling is working on a new novel - but it's NOT a romance, like the Daily Mail had reported.

The author took to Twitter to quash any rumours about her new work:

"There's a story in today's Mail that I was in a London bar on Monday 'celebrating' handing in a 'romantic novel' to my publishers..." she began...

"1) I haven't handed in ANY kind of novel to my publishers. I'm only half way through my current book.
2) It isn't a 'romantic' novel.
3) (brace yourselves) I sometimes have a drink even when I haven't finished a book. Yes, that's how rock and roll I really am.

Back to work now. See you when I've finished something X"

We love you JK - now back to work and get off Twitter, we want to read your new book!
