This month on the podcast, I interviewed Jonny Garza Villa (they/them), one of my favorite queer YA authors. In this interview they discuss growing up queer and Mexican in a small Texas town, how getting into astrology helped them develop characters, and how pettiness can serve as inspiration. We also do a deep dive into their queer Mexican love stories Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun (2021), Ander + Santi Were Here (2023), and Canto Contigo (2024), with a teaser for their forthcoming adult novel Futbolista at the end.
