When I first read your novel, I was just released from hospital after an intense battle with COVID. Your story made me laugh, cry and relate to Jules, especially by living a standard of what others expect from you, and I am thankful for that. My question is, will there ever be a novella with Mat and Jules after they finished college? If so, will it be in Mat's perspective?

Jonny Garza Villa my entire heart! 馃挍 thank you so much for this and for reading Jules' story. I hope you're doing better and I'm sending you all my love.

as enticing as it is and as much as I would love to stay in their world forever, I don't expect to write any more of Jules and Mat's life. mainly because, in my own mind and heart, they're living their happily ever after, and, I think, however that takes shape is something I more than welcome readers to envision and daydream with me about. (however, maybe we'll get to see one of Jules' friends having his main character moment in the not too distant future.)

I did, just for the sake of taking one final lap with them, write an epilogue that's available on my website that takes place in the final days of Jules' first year of college, which you can read at: (less)

I love love love your books, Jonny! I don't even know how you write like that-- making characters so intricate and real. I saw this especially in Canto Contigo, like I connected with Rey so well because I'm also trans and black and gay and it really felt like an awakening, like, wow, i finally found myself in a book!!! how do you come up with these ideas?? will there be more happy books like that in the future?

Characters for me are so important to my story, and I really do see them as real people. I see the audience that I write for and want to do right by them with these characters, whether it's Rey or Rafie or Xope or anyone else. I always consider the fact that, for some reader out there, this could be the first time they come across a character like themself, and I want to provide that sense of humanity, of this being a really thought out young person in return. Thank you so much for reading Canto Contigo, and I look forward to sharing more books with you!(less)
