Okay, my Japanese romantasy FORGET ME KNOT is officially up on itch! Not only is this where you'll get it the cheapest, but it's also where my royalty is the best. Win-win! Even if you can't/don't buy it, please consider checking out the page? I worked hard on it & I think it looks really nice 😭💙

Feeling... rough. Lately.

one thing about me is that I will never be an author who will beat the insta-love/-lust allegations and you know what so be it

The No-Girlfriend Rule comes to paperback March 4th! Even cooler: the first chapter of my next cozy, feel-good romance ACCORDING TO PLAN, is included at the end! Be the first to meet my new nonbinary, neurodivergent af lead, Mal Flowers!

being an author on Valentine’s Day is spending the day writing characters having their meet cute and getting some kisses while I myself get reminded paragraph by paragraph how single I am

wild how sometimes you start on a manuscript and then shelve it for a while for whatever reason but realize there are scenes you really liked so you find a way to put those into the manuscript that you have to prioritize in that moment instead like always keep your manuscript words are useful!

ANOTHER YEAR ANOTHER JGV BOOK ON THE RAINBOW BOOK LIST’S TOP TEN ❤️ bookriot.com/rainbow-book...

Have you read Ander and Santi Were Here by the ever amazing and talented @jgv.bsky.social ? A poignant, funny, sexy, and emotional novel of two queer youths who fall in love, but have to make complicated and hard choices about their lives because of the threat of ICE and a heated political climate.

in FUTBOLISTA, it is, without question, Orlando Pérez, one of Gabi’s teammates and roommates and maybe the most chaotic good character I’ve ever written (heavy on the chaotic). and, who knows, maybe his turn to be the lead isn’t too far off? 👀

in addition to the announcement about winning the Stonewall Book Award yesterday, I made what at least one of my housemates called “the best green beans he’d ever had in his life,” and that also feels like a really substantial win in a time like this

CANTO CONTIGO by Jonny Garza Villa wins this year’s Stonewall Book Award for YA #ALAyma

ALEXA PLAY EL SON DE LA NEGRA WE JUST WON THE STONEWALL AWARD

I finally got my hands on Futbolista by Jonny Garza Villa. I've been dying to read this book and I can't wait to finally devour it!!

As the transgender community continues to fight for civil rights in the U.S., one of the most common arguments against progress is that transgender people are a recent phenomenon. But it’s a fight that’s been happening here for decades and around the world for centuries. ⤵️

“the world that Jonny Garza Villa creates for their characters is so wonderfully magical […] who else could so effortlessly mix authentic and affirming LGBTQIA+ representation, the competitive world of high school mariachi, and a rivals-to-lovers romantic trope?” ❤️ www.slj.com/story/will-u...
