**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**  

We are so excited to have E. H. Lupton join us for a conversation about the Wisconsin Gothic series. We're huge fans of "Dionysus in Wisconsin" and are thrilled that "Renaissance" was released yesterday (on March 2nd)! If you need more, this is what Em says about DiW: 

If you’re looking for an urban fantasy/historical romance set in the ’60s with an interesting mystery, fun characters, and a low-angst central romance, look no further. Reviewers say Sam and Ulysses are “both delights” and the book is “really smart and well done.” It’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s got librarians and cranky grandmothers, community theater and Latin. What more do you need? First in a series, but there’s a HEA at the end.

Register directly on Zoom HERE.

RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded and all registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. 

You can purchase signed books by Em from Tropes and Trifles!

About Dionysus in Wisconsin:

Fall, 1969. Ulysses Lenkov should be working on his dissertation. Instead, he's caught up in the troubles of ghosts and hapless magic users. But when his clients start vanishing, he worries there's something afoot that’s worse than an unavenged death. The last word on the victim's lips? Dionysus.

Sam Sterling just moved back to Madison and is already embroiled in a family crisis. But his peaceful days as an archivist come to an end when the magnetic, mistrustful Ulysses turns up with a warning. There's a god coming, and it's coming for Sam.

As the two men's lives grow ever more intertwined, they face harrowing demon attacks, family secrets, and the race to a solution that doesn't end in heartbreak and death. As the solstice draws near, so does a deadly showdown that threatens both Sam and the city itself.

About E.H:

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 Ask a Medievalist.
