M.A. Wardell, Author
Writing as M.A. Wardell, LAMBDA Literary Award nominee Matt writes spicy queer rom-coms.
His goal is to tell adult gay love stories with a diverse representation of flawed and damaged characters who find healing through love.
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.
