Jasmin Joachims Author Bio
Jasmin Joachims is a poet, writer, and author of the sci-fi series The Sword of the Queen as well as well as the sapphic romance The Flying Kite. Previously working as an IT consultant, she now prefers to put words onto the page and dabble in a plethora of genres that include science fiction, romance and post-apocalyptic dystopia. One of her passions is to write gripping LGBTQ+ novels. Her second passion is ice cream. No, sorry, it's dogs. Okay, she can't decide. Let's call them her other two second passions and be done with it.
*when she isn't writing, she is eating good German bread or getting annoyed at her Kanji studies.
I'm a little notorious for not sticking to one genre. I enjoy creating different worlds and coming up with interesting settings, so I'm naturally more drawn to science fiction and fantasy. That being said, I enjoy writing romance or a contemporary mystery almost as much, so I'd hate to settle on just writing one thing. Since I choose not to be too bothered by pen names, I hope readers will just choose from my portfolio whatever resonates most with them.
I wished. Indie publishing is a cut-throat world, and I'm still building up my reader base. With the unpredictability of social media these days, that isn't always easy. I work as a betareader, developmental editor, and translator when I don't write, though, so stories are pretty much what I deal with every day. It's a fun job, but not always as easy as one might assume.
Now, that's a tough one. I think Radclyffe was definitely a big influence. Her books always featured strong women characters, highly skilled and confident, and never afraid to ask for what they wanted. This concept of the strong, independent woman, who doesn't shy away from staying true to who she is, really appealed to me. Another big influence was David Weber and his Honor Harrington series. I loved these books, though they sometimes veered off into the technical too much, and he is a big reason why I enjoy writing science fiction today.
