I do take offense to the bio she faked, claiming a military background she did not earn. We have enough fakes and phonies claiming to be some super hero veteran and defrauding folks while doing so. Her doing the same thing just adds credibility to the fraudulent practice. That is my sole objection to the issue.

I think the bio was taken from the main character's background in the book. Probably as APK said by staff. Maybe someone wa told to just write something reasonable?
Still it is a fiction book and not a textbook for security people or armed forces people.
I suppose their could be millions who buy books based on the author's bio and nothing else who have been misled, but seems a bit far fetched.
Myself I only read the bios if I really like the book, but perhaps I am a minority of one.
And it did state that Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym, which implies that the author is not Robert Galbraith really.
