The UntitledTown Book and Author Festival has lost Mary Roach as its keynote speaker on opening night.

Roach, whose books include “Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers” and “Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War,” was originally scheduled for April 19 but is no longer able to attend. She is researching migratory patterns of birds in the Arctic for her next book. She did not expect that migration to happen until May but was notified last week that she needed to leave immediately. She sent a handwritten note to festival organizers to apologize and said she hoped she’ll be invited back.

The festival is working to find a replacement of similar caliber.
