Matt loves rom-coms and has always wished for better representation, so he's writing the stories he wishes existed. The queer men in his stories are flawed and messy. Helping them find their HEA is Matt's passion.E. H. Lupton (she/they) is a writer living in Madison, WI with her family. When not writing, she entertains herself by running really long, boring races, quilting, painting, and doing martial arts. A three-time graduate of UW-Madison, she holds a BA in philosophy and English and two MAs in library science and Thai studies; as a consequence, she now works in computers because it pays a lot better than the old philosophy factory down the street. She is also half of the hit podcasting duo behind .Agenda?: 06:30 PM - 07:00 PMArrival?: 07:00 PM - 07:05 PMIntro and welcome?: 07:05 PM - 07:45 PMAuthor conversation?: 07:45 PM - 08:00 PMAudience Q&A?: 08:00 PM - 09:00 PMSigning - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/minneapolis/book-launch-ma-wardells-husband-of-the-year/100001761528993639 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 21.04, max: 21.04, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Minneapolis - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: Tropes & Trifles - **lat**: 44.9340363 - **long**: -93.2326317 - **full address**: Tropes & Trifles, 2709 East 38th Street, Minneapolis, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book launch!
