Author Biography:
Jasmine was born in Toledo, Ohio on 5 July, 1992. She was almost born on the 4th of July, but life isn't always fair. As young as she can remember, she began writing using whatever materials she could find -- sometimes pencils, sometimes crayons, sometimes notebook paper, and sometimes she's been known to write on construction paper and bound the pages with hair barrettes. She received her BA in 2013 from The University of Toledo with a major in creative writing and a minor in Japanese. In 2015, she earned her MA in literature from the The University of Toledo as well. Her humorous fantasy short, "Save Now?," won The Mill Magazine's Spring 2014 fiction contest. "The Comet in the Sky," an early excerpt from her upcoming space fantasy, The Cosmic Adventures of Sophie Zetyld, won second place in The Toledo Writers Workshop's 2015 "Find Your Inner Superhero" short story contest. She enjoys ballroom dancing, ballet, video games (especially Soul Calibur, Super Smash Bros., Legend of Zelda, and Splatoon), working out, reading, and, of course, writing. She also has unhealthy obsessions with Chipotle, sushi, oreos, Nutella, and pizza.
