I do not see an error in my code. If there is one can it be shown to me.

8,549 PointsIn the library database, how many books are with the author of "J.K. Rowling"? Alias the result as jk_book_count. The books table has the columns id, title, author, genre and first_published.
SELECT COUNT(author) AS "jk_book_count" FROM books WHERE author = "J.K. Rowling";
SELECT COUNT(*) AS "jk_book_count" FROM books WHERE author = "J.K. Rowling";
