Veronica Gonzalez Peña is co-editor of the cross-genre book Juncture: 25 Very Good Stories and 12 Excellent Drawings. In 2006 she founded Rockypoint Press, a series of artist/writer collaborative prints, books, and films. Her first novel, twin time: or how death befell me, was published by semiotext(e) and was awarded the 2008 Aztlan Literary Prize. Lynne Tillman calls her second novel, The Sad Passions (June 2013), “honest and riveting," and Francisco Goldman hailed it "a beautiful and moving choral tale of isolation, love, damage, and intimate struggles."
