ABIGAIL HING WEN is the New York Times best selling author of Loveboat, Taipei, which has been adapted as the movie Love in Taipei, now streaming on Netflix and starring Ashley Liao (Hunger Games) and Ross Butler (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before). Abigail served as an executive producer and on set while filming in Taipei and London, and expanded the universe into a trilogy. Her sophomore universe, Kisses, Codes and Conspiracies, a thriller and romantic comedy novel, launched August 13 and was an instant National Best Seller and Amazon Editor’s Pick for YA Book of the Month. 

When LAUREN ROBERTS isn’t writing about fantasy worlds and bantering love interests, she can likely be found burrowed in bed reading about them. Lauren has lived in Michigan her whole life, making her very familiar with potholes, snow, and various lake activities. She has the hobbies of both a grandmother and a child, i.e., knitting, laser tag, hammocking, word searches, and coloring. She’s the author of Powerless, and she hopes to have the privilege of writing pretty words for the rest of her life. If you enjoy ranting, reading, and writing, Lauren can be found on both TikTok and Instagram @LaurenRobertsLibrary for your entertainment.
