Tonight I interviewed nonbinary young adult author Jonny Garza Villa about growing up queer in #Texas, being banned from teaching in San Antonio libraries and their recent enemies-to-lovers gay mariachi romance novel, Canto Contigo. Look for it in The Barbed Wire later this month (thebarbedwire.com).
