USA Today bestselling author Adriana Herrera and No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood join us to discuss romance writing, collaboration, and friendship. Participant Q&A to follow.
At each program, authors will speak, followed by a question-and-answer session. This event is free, but ticketed. A seat-filler line will occur on the day of the program to ensure a full house. Ticketed seats will be held until 5 minutes before the start time, at which time they will be released. Book signing and/or photos will occur after the program at a designated time on the library's first floor. For full details on signing times and the other Romance-Con events and offerings, visit toledolibrary.org/romance-con.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Adriana Herrera is a USA Today bestselling and Audie Award-winning author whose work celebrates characters who look and sound like her community and unapologetically receive their happy endings. Born and raised in the Caribbean, she has spent the past 15 years living around the world due to her career and family life. The New York Times has described her work as “sweet, thoughtful, and delightfully filthy too.”
When she is not writing romance, Herrera can be found planning logistically complex family vacations, hunting for discounted Broadway tickets, or working as a trauma therapist in New York City, where she supports survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
Ali Hazelwood is the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of “Love, Theoretically” and “The Love Hypothesis,” as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles on 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 United States to pursue a PhD in neuroscience.
Outside of her academic work, Hazelwood enjoys crocheting, eating cake pops and watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords and her slightly less feline husband.
Together, Herrera and Hazelwood co-founded AH² Romance Collections, created as a way to build community and collaborate with their favorite authors and creators while providing a space where authors could write at their freest creative selves without compromising their vision for the stories they want to tell.
