This event is free and open to the public. Presented in partnership with Curious Iguana. Books will be available for purchase at the event.

Ellen is a former adjunct college instructor and lawyer with an insatiable curiosity for ancient Asian history. She also loves martial arts films, K-pop, K-dramas, and cooking shows, but her favorite thing to do is to try new places to eat good food.
