Jeff Smith, the creator of the Bone series of books, suffered a heart attack a couple weeks ago. All of his appearances have been canceled for the time being. He is recovering and doing better.
From an August 19 blog entry:
To our friends and fans: Jeff Smith is recuperating from a cardiac arrest, which he suffered on Sunday. There will be a long road to recovery, so regrettably we must cancel the remainder of his book tour this year. Our apologies to his fans who were coming to see him at: Rob Con (VA), CXC (OH), Bedrock Comic Con (TX) and NYCC (NY). We hope this is just a bump in the road and that Jeff will see you all next year. Thank you for your support and understanding at this time.
If you want to send a note or a get well card, here's his official Instagram announcement, with an address:
A note of appreciation from all of us at Cartoon Books for the enormous amount of support and concern you have shown Jeff in these past few days. We may not be able to reply to each one, but know we are reading them and they are the best medicine. Many of you have asked about sending a card to Jeff - and those are always welcome! Please send to: Cartoon Books PO Box 16973, Columbus, OH 43216.
