"Any claims otherwise are false," Lee, 85, said in reference to the as-yet unpublished "The Mockingbird Next Door," by former Chicago Tribune reporter Marja Mills.
News reports earlier this week said that Mills' book had been written with the cooperation of Lee, as well as the writer's family and friends.
The reclusive author rarely speaks to the media, and reportedly has said that she never wrote a follow-up to "To Kill A Mockingbird" because she feared she could never equal the success that she had with that 1960 classic about racism in the pre-Civil Rights era South.
Mills' biography is to be published by Penguin Press, which announced earlier this week that it had acquired the work.
