Joya Goffney
Joya Goffney grew up in New Waverly, a small town in East Texas. In high school, she challenged herself with to-do lists full of risk-taking items like ‘hug a random boy’ and ‘eat a cricket,’ which inspired her debut novel. With a passion for black social psychology, she moved out of the countryside to attend the University of Texas in Austin, where she still resides.

Love in Winter Wonderland (2022)
Abiola Bello
"A Black romance set in a Black-owned bookstore at Christmas time--yes please! The chemistry was palpable. The pacing kept me turning pages all night. And the story has stayed with me long after putting it down--the perfect gift for Black girls who crave a screen-worthy holiday romance."
