praying for this

A graphic with headshots from Jonny Garza Villa and Sonora Reyes that reads: Bidi bidi book pod! ep #01 Jonny & Soni are cautiously optimistic

We're live!!!! @jgv.bsky.social and I started a podcast! You can search "bidi bidi book pod" wherever you listen to podcasts or find the full ep and transcript here: bidibidibookpod.com/episodes/jon...

I wrote a new adult romance about an incredibly bisexual, chicano, Crocs-wearing soccer goalkeeper who falls for his philosophy classmate after kissing him at his first college party and finds the courage to fight for himself, his dreams, his greatness, and the guy he’s falling in love with 💙🍍⚽️

literally Gabi spiraling bisexually

LITERALLY ADAPTATION WHEN?! also love hearing you enjoyed the audiobook 💙

Robb did such an incredible job on the audiobook! hope you enjoying spending more time with them!

Soooo uh hypothetically, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, if @jgv.bsky.social and I were to, idk, start a podcast to interview QTBIPOC authors and maybe talk some shit….. would yall be into that? 👀

Another day of spreading the gospel (Futbolista by @jgv.bsky.social)

ALL MY LOVE FOR YOU 💙

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

this one is Lindelin but also Astarion right before they gay kiss 😌 tbh I started this run planning on romancing Wyll but then all of us a sudden I’m bonking a vampire so I said, sure let’s go with this now I guess

barely on here but anyways most of my free time lately has been spent 💨🥬🤪-ing and playing Baldur’s Gate 3, so have some screenshots of my half-elf College of Swords Bard named Lindelin 🖤 in my head, pre-worm-thing he invented rock music and had a band named The Booming Blades

Avi was INCREDIBLY PERFECT for Ander 🤎 so glad you enjoyed it!

Graphic with a white-gray gradient background displaying a pull-quote from WNDB’s interview with Jonny Garza Villa. The quote says, “I think, as a queer person, and especially as a queer person of color, the most courageous act one could do is to choose to love themself, wholly and completely.” In the bottom left-hand corner is a mock-up image of a hardcover copy of “Futbolista” by Jonny Garza Villa.

Graphic with a white-gray gradient background displaying a pull-quote from WNDB’s interview with Jonny Garza Villa. The quote says, “I want to present a masculinity that shows it’s okay to be emotional around people you trust and care about; how fraternity, in that sense, in being unafraid to be close to your guy friends, to celebrate and struggle and care for them as they do you, to be brothers, doesn’t take away from your masculinity. If anything, it’s the purest celebration of it.” In the bottom left-hand corner is a mock-up image of a hardcover copy of “Futbolista” by Jonny Garza Villa.

Here are some excerpts from their interview, where they discuss what readers can expect from FUTBOLISTA, what it was like writing about a soccer player, wanting to impart expressions of positive masculinity, and how readers can show up for authors affected by book bans.

Graphic with a white-gray gradient background. On the right-hand side is a headshot of author Jonny Garza Villa and an image of a mock-up hardcover of their latest book, “Futbolista”. On the left-hand side is a quote from Jonny that reads as follows: “Don’t wait for those most banned books lists. Actively look to diversify your TBRs and your book-shelves yourself. If you picked up a book by a white author last time you were at the book-store or library, pick up a book by a BIPOC author next time. If you picked up a book by a straight author last time, next time pick up one by a queer and/or trans author. If you liked that BIPOC book, that queer book, that trans book, tell your friends.”

Stonewall Award Winning author, Jonny Garza Villa, was kind enough to stop by the WNDB newsletter to “spill the tea” on their new release, FUTBOLISTA — a classmates-to-friends-to-lovers new adult romance that’s equal parts raunchy, heartfelt, queer, and abundantly Mexican-American!

On a muted rainbow background, the 3D book cover for This is How We Roll (A foursome of players surround a table. The DM with light brown skin and hair in a bun holds a d20 between her fingers and sits in a wheelchair. The players are a white gender nonconforming person with two toned hair and a mug that says dice goblin, a dark skinned girl with hoop earrings looking flirtatiously at the DM, and a boy with dark hair and gold hued skin wearing a sweat band in the colors of the trans flag. Above them, a large speech bubble depicts their characters: a firbolg with a dagger and bow, a blue skinned trifling in a purple dress, and a green skinned half-orc wearing heavy armor.) with the lesbian, asexual, trans, pride, bisexual, gay, and non-binary flags. Text bullet points read: Queer D&D stories, self discovery, finding your people, contemporary & SFF, flirting across the table. Below is the lineup: Anna Meriano, M.K. England, Andrew Joseph White, Tara Sim, Jonny Garza Villa, Jamie Pacton, Rebecca Podos, Linsey Miller, DeAndra Davis, Margaret Owen, Marieke Nijkamp, Akemi Dawn Bowman
