Bookshop Interview with Author Romina Garber, Episode #285

Author Romina Garber discusses her Wolves of No World duology. Originally published as Lobizona and Cazadora, this contemporary YA fantasy series is now available in a beautiful new two-in-one collector's edition. The story follows Manuela, an undocumented immigrant living in hiding in Miami, Florida while trying to stay one step ahead of her father's Argentine crime family. When her mother is arrested by ICE, Manu is suddenly left on her own. Her search for answers leads her into a hidden world drawn from the Argentinian folklore of her childhood—a realm filled with witches, werewolves, and forbidden magic. In this episode, Romina shares her writing journey, discusses the real-world harm caused by labeling people as "illegal," and reflects on a powerful idea at the heart of storytelling: nonfiction may deal in facts, but fiction deals in truth.
