COMING JULY 2024, A BOOK FOR* ADULTS. *ABOUT

Everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together– everybody but Shiloh and Cary.

Slow Dance follows these star-crossed best friends from their inseparable teen years on the wrong side of the tracks to their far-flung adulthoods – through her marriage and motherhood and his time in the Navy – as they try to work out what they’re actually supposed to be to each other. 

Told with Rowell’s trademark sensitivity and abundant wit, Slow Dance is a big, beaming power ballad of a novel about a love so true, it refuses to be forgotten.

This is my first book in nine years not to involve the World of Mages (unless you consider Omaha to be part of the World of Mages). I think it's good. It's like a big juicy cheeseburger novel. A love story.

You can find out more here.

And, as always, you can preorder and signed and personalized copy at my local indie bookstore, The Bookworm. Cover design by art director Elsie Lyons, with illustration by painter Joël Penkman, and lettering by Jim Tierney.

Happy Snowbaz Day!

Here’s some 1970s shoujo manga-style Snowbaz for you all.

That’s a wrap on this year’s Carry On Countdown - my fifth one! 😱 It was a very fun experiment to draw everything with my non-dominant hand, but I’m relieved to go back to my dominant one now, haha~ Thank you for joining me on this wild ride!

COC 27 - Gift

“Maybe you didn’t see what you think you saw,” Baz says. “Maybe Snow really was just giving me moral support.”

“Right. And maybe you’re the most gifted mage in five generations.”

Snowbaz at a Christmas market!

My iPad is struggling to keep a charge atm because of the busted cable I’m using, so this is as far as I could get, 😔

COC 24 - Cross

His voice is thick, strained. “You should be wearing your cross.”

“We’ve been through this—I’d rather risk a bite.”

COC 23 ⁘ Bite

I close one eye, bracing myself. “My dude … please, no. I fear this won’t go well for either of us.”

COC 22 ⁘ Music

I went to the bathroom a few times, but it’s just down the hall, and it seems like a modern addition. (There’s a Japanese toilet in there with comforting music and a seat warmer.)

–Carry On, @rainbowrowell

Yes, this line is from Penny’s POV. No, I don’t know why I drew Simon instead.

Thank you @foolofabookwyrm-activated for the idea!

@carryon-countdown day 21: Begin Again

Feels like Agatha keeps having to restart her life. Hopefully she gets the respite she needs

COC 20 - Flowers

I look up at her stone marker. There are flowers growing all around it, vines winding up and around the marble. I didn’t notice that before.

COC 16 ⁘ Smoke

I turned to run back into the forest—but it was on fire. From me. From my magic. And I couldn’t do anything to stop it, because now I didn’t have any.

“Go!” Baz said again, so I did. I ran.

–Carry On, @rainbowrowell

I used a screencap from Attack on Titan as a basis for the background.

“You’re not supposed to do that on my side of the room,” I say.
