 Author Chats Live on October 20

  "The idea that we could have a child who escapes from the confines
    of the adult world and goes somewhere where he has power, both
         literally and metaphorically, really appealed to me."
                                           -J.K. Rowling.

WHO:     Like that of her own character, Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling's
         life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on
         public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant
         daughter, Rowling wrote Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
         at a table in a cafe during her daughter's naps. Now Rowling
         has four bestsellers, and the world is begging for more. From
         public assistance to a publishing phenomenon, Rowling's tale
         is truly magical.

WHAT:    Barnes & Noble.com online chat with J.K. Rowling

         Chat attendees will be able to ask J.K. everything from the
         meaning of the word muggle to her inspirations.
