So J. K. Rowling looked for the freedom of anonymity and wrote a mystery novel under a pseudonym. Here's a link to a (short) news story about it:
http://www.locusmag.com/News/2013/07/rowling-revealed-as-author-of-mystery-novel/
...but it's been all over the mainstream media these past few days and there are longer news stories out there.
What do you think?

I don't have the link handy, but Nathan Bransford's take was interesting.
Good reviews, but it hadn't sold well at all--at least until this came out. Now . . .

I understand using pen names for branding. I understand what King did, wanting to know how he would do without his name attached.
I don't understand wanting to be "liberated."
