Josiane Veiga

**Josiane Veiga** is a Brazilian author born in Sapucaia do Sul, in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. Passionate about literature from an early age, she found some of her first literary loves in Alexandre Dumas and Moacyr Scliar. At just twelve years old, she published her first book, *A Caminho do Céu*. Since then, she has turned writing into a career spanning more than three decades of storytelling.

With more than one hundred books written and over 100 million reads throughout her career, Josiane has built a body of work defined by its diversity of genres and the intensity of its characters. From historical romance and Boys’ Love to contemporary romance, dark romance, mafia romance, and fantasy, her stories have crossed borders and reached readers in Brazil and around the world, with books published in multiple languages and available across Amazon’s international marketplaces.

Josiane first gained national recognition with the LGBT trilogy *Jishu*, comprising *Rendição*, *Redenção*, and *Remissão*, and further established her name among readers with titles such as *Kinshi na Karada* and *Jiyuu na Karada*. In 2013, her medieval novel *A Insígnia de Claymor*, re-released by Modo Editora, reached the Top 10 on **VEJA magazine’s national bestseller list**. The following year, *Kinshi na Karada*, independently published through Amazon Brazil, remained at number one in its category for approximately eight consecutive months.

Throughout the years, Josiane has embraced the transformations of the publishing industry without ever abandoning what has always been at the heart of her writing: imperfect characters, intense emotions, and stories meant to provoke, move, and stay with readers long after the final page.

A proud native of Rio Grande do Sul, Josiane continues to write every day, bringing her stories to readers across different countries and cultures.

And because some passions are meant to last a lifetime, there is one that could never be left out of her story: **Josiane is a devoted Grêmio supporter.**
