| | |  J.K. Rowling to meet fans, discuss "The Casual Vacancy" at Cheltenham Literature Fest
Author J.K. Rowling will attend The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival in the U.K. on October 6 to promote, discuss, and sign copies for fans of her first post- Harry Potter book, The Casual Vacancy. More information on how to purchase tickets for the event, beginning at 6:30pm GMT, can be found here.  J.K. Rowling will be in conversation with documentary film-maker James Runcie, to discuss The Casual Vacancy. This unmissable event will offer Festival visitors a rare opportunity to meet one of the bestselling authors of our time.
Pagford is apparently an English idyll - but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. In The Casual Vacancy J.K. Rowling has written a big novel about a small town, as a parish council election becomes fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations. A storyteller like no other, she joins James Runcie for a rare appearance to discuss her writing.
J.K. Rowling will be signing copies of The Casual Vacancy after the event. In order to allow as many audience members as possible to have their book signed, signing will be limited to one copy only.
Pre-order J.K. Rowling's 512-page book The Casual Vacancy now, via:
Amazon.com - The Casual Vacancy Hardcover | The Casual Vacancy Kindle
Amazon.co.uk - The Casual Vacancy Hardcover | The Casual Vacancy Kindle

I think it's brave of her to publish under her own name. It is going to be one of the most critiqued and criticized books ever.

Very interesting. I can't wait to read the book although that might have to wait until after I finish my semester.

This is an interesting observation that I am somewhat surprised no one else seems to be paying attention to. I think the chances are that you are 99 % right, but what especially are you talking about? This seems to really be a political story, and I know Rowling has strong beliefs in that area.
