Susan Lee: Romance Panel

  • Kepler's Books 1010 El Camino Real #100 Menlo Park United States (map)

Kepler’s is thrilled to bring you an epic romance panel. Join us in celebrating the release of The Name Drop by Susan Lee. 

When Elijah Ri and Jessica Lee, two interns at Haneul Corporation, discover they share the same Korean name, they find that their identities have been switched and decide to stay switched for the summer. Elijah seeks freedom from his controlling father, while Jessica aims to make valuable connections for her future. 

As they navigate their new roles, a spark ignites between them. Will they manage to keep their secret and their hearts intact? A tale of mistaken identities, a memorable summer, and risking it all for love.

Susan will be joined by Rosie Danan, Ali Hazelwood, and Christina Lauren. This is going to be an incredible romance panel and you are not going to want to miss this! 


ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Susan Lee has had a lifetime of careers, from bartender to network engineer to HR executive at some of today’s most successful companies. But one thing has always been clear throughout: she was born to be a storyteller. And she has channeled her myriad of experiences into her writing of lighthearted, quirky novels about the oftentimes hilarious human condition. And love. Always love. She currently lives in Southern California (fighting her inner New Yorker from breaking free too often) with a pack of three feisty chihuahuas and a too-hearty obsession with K-pop and K-dramas.

Christina Lauren is the combined pen name of long-time writing partners and best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. The #1 international bestselling coauthor duo writes both Young Adult and Adult Fiction, and together has produced nineteen New York Times bestselling novels.

Ali Hazelwood is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).

Rosie Danan is the award-winning, bestselling author of The Roommate, The Intimacy Experiment, and the upcoming Do Your Worst. Her work has been optioned for film as well as translated into nine different languages and counting. The New York Times describes her writing as "warmly funny and gorgeously sexy."

When not working on her next book, Rosie enjoys jogging slowly to fast music, petting other people’s dogs, and competing against herself in rounds of Chopped using the miscellaneous ingredients occupying her fridge.

Masks are required for everyone over the age of 2 years old and must be worn at all times in the venue, and throughout the duration of the event.
