Jasmine Mas

Jasmine Mas is a fantasy-romance author known for the Cruel Shifterverse and Villains of Lore series, including Psycho Shifters and Blood of Hercules. A New York Times bestselling writer, she focuses on dark, myth-inflected stories about strong women in magical worlds; her books have been translated into more than 20 languages.

経歴と著者の歩み

Jasmine Mas came to fiction through an unusually hybrid early path that joined the humanities, competitive sport, and law. According to her official biography, she studied Government and Classical Studies at Georgetown University while playing field hockey, then earned a law degree and spent two years practicing complex commercial litigation. Writing began alongside that demanding academic and professional track rather than after it: she has said that she wrote her first book over law school winter break and chose to self-publish during her final semester, initially assuming fiction might remain a side career beside a prestigious law-firm job.
