JK Rowling has denied reports that she has finished a new romance novel.
The 49-year-old Harry Potter author took to Twitter to dismiss the claims, writing: "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.
"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."
She added: "And 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."
Rowling is currently writing the follow-up to 2011's The Casual Vacancy.
