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.

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.

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.

This is How We Roll is my forthcoming anthology of queer D&D themed stories! Editing this anthology was such a dream come true and I love every single one! It comes out this fall, so a preorder for the fam perhaps??
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
