Jasmine Richards

Jasmine Richards was born in London, grew up in a library, and was the first in her family to go to university. After graduating from Oxford, and following a brief stint at New Scotland Yard, Jasmine chose a career in publishing over being the next Sherlock Holmes. Today she’s a senior editor at a leading publishing house. 

Her debutnovel, The Book of Wonders, is a fantastical, action-packed response to the mythology of The Arabian Nights - but this time the sultan doesn't get away with murder. The Book of Wonders is the first of a trilogy and was published by Harper Collins Inc in Jan 2012.
