He is an accomplished chef, television personality, and cookbook author (Did You Eat Yet?, March 14, 2023) celebrated by his fans and peers alike for his infectious personality, background in dating & relationships, and creative Asian-American cuisine, which combines Asian dishes with All-American influences. Ronnie is a recurring guest on multiple shows, including The Today Show, Rachael Ray, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Food Network, and many more! Rebecca Makkai Rebecca Makkai is the rare writer who can do it all, reinventing herself with each new book-that extraordinary range has solidified her as one of the cleverest and most imaginative writers working today. Her last novel, “The Great Believers” was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award; winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction, the Stonewall Book Award, the Clark Prize, and the LA Times Book Prize; named one of The New York Times’ Ten Best Books of 2018. Readers, critics, and booksellers have been eagerly awaiting her next book, I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. Set in the woods of New Hampshire, this transfixing new novel follows a film professor and podcaster forced to reckon with her past and reexamine the murder of her high school classmate. In Makkai’s own words, it’s “the literary feminist boarding school murder mystery you didn’t know you needed.” Tim Blake Nelson Tim Blake Nelson is an American actor and playwright who has just published his debut novel "City of Blow." Described as a "modern character actor", his roles include Delmar O'Donnell in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Gideon in Minority Report, Dr. Pendanski in Holes, Danny Dalton Jr. in Syriana, Samuel Sterns in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Richard Schell in Lincoln, the title character in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and Henry McCarty in Old Henry. He portrayed Wade Tillman / Looking Glass in the HBO limited series Watchmen, for which he received a Critics' Choice Television Awards nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2020. Nelson's directorial credits include Eye of God, which was nominated for the Sundance Grand Jury Prize and an Independent Spirit Award; O, a modern-day adaptation of Othello; and the Holocaust drama The Grey Zone. Eye of God and The Grey Zone were both adapted from Nelson's own plays.
