Due to health reasons, Rainbow Rowell has had to cancel her appearance at Fall for the Book. Here is her statement from Twitter. We wish her a swift recovery and hope to have more details soon. If characters fall in love, feel like they’re screwing up, and love to talk all at the same time,

Rainbow Rowell loves to write about them. Readers can’t get enough of her wide array of writing, from her adult and YA novels, including
Carry On, its hotly-anticipated sequel
Wayward Son, and
Eleanor & Park, to her comics
Pumpkin Heads and
Runaways.
Time Magazine calls the magical
Carry On, “a brilliantly addictive, genuinely romantic story about teenagers who can’t be neatly sorted into houses...It’s as if Rowell turned the Harry Potter books inside out, and is showing us the marvelous, subversive stuffing inside." In
Wayward Son, Rowell explores what happens after the Chosen One saves the day. Rowell will be in conversation with critic
Bethanne Patrick.
