Forbes has just come out with the top ten highest paid authors of the year. According to the magazine: “The 10 stars on [the] list of the best-paid authors pulled in a combined $563 million between June 1, 2007, and June 1, 2008.”

Any guesses which wizardly wordsmith came out on top? If you guessed Danielle Steele….you’re wrong. But close! Steele came in at #5. No, no, the magical #1 spot belongs, of course, to J.K. Rowling, who pulled in a whopping $300 million…THIS year.
