The new aim of J.K. Rowling

Author J.K. Rowling is working on a Harry Potter encyclopedia, and will donate the royalties to charity, she has said on her website.

Four years ago, the British writer took an independent US publisher to court to stop its plans for a reference book on the world of the fictional boy wizard, saying it includes a “rip off” of her work.

On her re-vamped website, Rowling addressed the question of a Harry Potter encyclopedia in a “frequently asked questions and rumors” link.

“For a long time I have been promising an encyclopedia of Harry?s world, and I have started work on this now,” said the 46-year-old, whose announcements related to Harry Potter are closely followed by millions of fans.

“It is likely to be a time-consuming job, but when finished I shall donate all royalties to charity,” Rowling added.

Mendoza paints in an abstract style, and colors figure heavily into his work. He current has a Smithsonian traveling art exhibit call “Colors of the Wind.”

“I?ve been fortunate to, in my younger days, be an Olympic runner and travel the world and then lecture, and now the art and design,” he said. “I pinch myself. How did all this happen? Sometimes it wears you out, but the art just keeps coming.”

If there?s a secret to his success, it may be this: “I just persevere. I just have so many ideas. I keep painting,” he said.
