Finally, in her late teens, she began drafting her first novel, Fire of the Blood.
She turned her attention primarily to journaling, which eventually evolved into poetry and songwriting, the latter of which is often inspired by Ted Hughes translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Although the book and ring are long lost, Jasmina’s desire to write did not fade with age. After much pleading with her parents, she acquired the ring and proceeded to make her first attempt at writing a book about the ring and the magical properties she imbued it with. Her fascination with fantasy manifested in her writing at the age of seven, when, in a market in Arezzo, Italy, she found a peculiar ring of ornate metal set with a bead made to look like an eye that could move as if in a socket. The combination of Tolkien and Shakespeare was crucial in developing her own writing style, which features poetical prose to describe fantastical worlds. At age seven, she read The Hobbit and fell in love with fantasy, however that has not kept her from enjoying literary fiction, poetry, and non-fiction as well. Her love of literature was encouraged from a young age when, at the age of four, her mother gave her a copy of short stories inspired by Shakespeare. She was often scolded in school for trying to read under the table during class, but this did little to dissuade her. Jasmina is a London native but, despite having the city at her fingertips growing up, was endlessly fascinated by books, mythology, and stories instead.
