We’re back with our Author Questions series, where authors reveal the hidden layers behind their stories! Today, we’re spotlighting Justin Haynes (justinhayneswriter), debut author of IBIS. 🕊️✨
In IBIS, a young Venezuelan refugee named Milagros journeys with her mother to a Caribbean island in search of a better life — only to be separated and spend her adulthood trying to find her again. When asked what question he wishes readers would pose, Justin points to one that never comes up: Why doesn’t he name the island? That choice, intentional and thought-provoking, invites readers to reflect on displacement, universality, and belonging. 🌍
Want to hear more about Justin’s inspiration and the deeper meanings within IBIS? Watch the full reel! 🎥
