JK Rowling
helped
Kate
and Gerry
McCann to secure their
book deal,
the Sunday Express can
reveal.
The
multi-millionaire Harry Potter writer suggested they use her literary
agent Christopher Little who arranged a publishing deal with Transworld.
JK
Rowling has been giving the McCanns support since their daughter
disappeared in Portugal in May 2007 aged three.
The
author contributed to a reward for finding
Madeleine
and in July 2007 she arranged for posters of Madeleine to be made
available to book retailers around the world .
Kate
has already written 60,000 words, covering the period up to the couple’s
heart-rending decision to return to Britain.
The
book, titled Madeleine, will be published on April 28 next year to mark
the fourth anniversary of her disappearance. Profits will go directly to
the
fund
for finding Madeleine. GP Kate, 42, said: “My main reason for
writing is simple – to give an account of the truth.” |
