Hello and welcome! My name is Jasmine and I’m a writer. There, I said it.

​

I’ve wanted to do that since I was a little girl, penning wildly macabre poems and ghost stories in my club house. Since then, I’ve lived a variety of chapters, including as a copywriter, head of marketing, entrepreneur, and World’s Best Mom. I live in Chicago, although I still feel like a New Yorker. Five years ago, I sat down and got serious about my fiction, which I’d been dabbling in for decades and finally had the freedom to pursue in earnest. I write every day through some mad discipline I’ve had since I was yay big. I love cool, complicated women throughout history — those with messy pasts trying to take charge of their futures — and that’s what I write about.

​

I’m meticulous about how I spend my time and will wax poetic about how I schedule my writing in two-month calendars. Those who love me best know that I'm prone to disappearing into my current project and refusing even my favorite activities of eating out, drinking dirty martinis, and making adventure from the mundane. Do not come for my em dash or my Oxford comma.

The best way to be in touch is on Instagram. Find me there for my brief musings on books, art, travel, my sons, and my wildly misbehaved seven-pound dog. I keep threatening to start a newsletter and if you’d like to receive that if I ever do, please sign up below. When I do start sharing my work, that’s where you’ll find it first.
