Veronica Helena Cortez, the author

Veronica Helena Cortez collects stories: the whispered ones, the ones left hanging, the ones that could have gone differently. She writes love stories that are intense and bittersweet, the kind that stay with you long after the last page, and she loves the sea, jazz and endings that don’t console you, but make you think.

The Time of a Hug is her debut novel: the story of a meeting that came at the wrong moment — or perhaps the only one possible.
