JASMINE ME
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jasmine Romero is an author of YA and adult fantasy that often blends genres. She writes dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human.
Originally from SoCal, she left a piece of her heart in the depths of the ocean, and moved to Colorado to get lost in the woods. She received her BA in English and Comparative Literature, with a minor in Art, from California State University Fullerton, and currently works an office job to feed her chaotic corgi, Macaroni. When she isn't flipping through a book, you can find her playing video games with her husband, or doodling.
Falling Star is her self-published debut adult fantasy novel.

I’m so excited to help show off the eerily perfect cover for @megsmitherman ‘s scifi horromance novella, SWALLOWED! Cover credit to designer @adamwayneart .
Thankfully we don’t have to wait long for the release date: January 28, 2025! eBook preorders are open now! Peep through the slides to see a map of some of the tropes I’m gnawing on the arm of my couch for.
Just in case you miss it in the slides, here’s the synopsis!
🌱
Earth is broken beyond repair. The Planet is our last hope.
Humanity’s first mission to the Planet ended in tragedy, but botanist Jill Jones won’t let that stop her from joining the second.
Perfect climate, perfect terrain, perfect flora and fauna; the Planet has called to Jill all of her life. She knows, with bone-deep certainty, it’s home. A new beginning for humanity. She just needs a chance to prove it.
But as Jill and her team survey the Planet, a mysterious presence begins to infiltrate their thoughts. When her colleagues start to disappear, it’s up to Jill to uproot the Planet’s secrets before they consume her, her friends, and the one man she would do anything to keep.

I saw @rowanredfield do this and I wanted to do itttttt.
so hiii I’m Jasmine and while some of my top favs stay the same for a long time, others come and go depending on my mood. It’s so hard for me to pick sometimes.
I’d also like to nominate @savavillescas @oneliteraryfox and @wordsofajs to make one of these!!! if you want, no pressure!! ✨(you can swap out categories you don’t really like for others)
🩵 if you’re new here, I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human. FALLING STAR will be my debut novel, and it features bi rep, soulmates-gone-wrong, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and lots of sapphic pining. You can add it on Go0dreads and St0ryGraph! L!nk is in my bi0!

Happy 4 year wedding anniversary to my best friend! I’ve married you twice now, and I would do it again and again and again. in every universe, even (yes that’s a threat). Thanks for listening to me yap for almost 12 years now, too.
10.13.2018 - proposed in a cave at Crystal Cove and we all almost got trapped by high tide
10.13.2020 - got married at the makeshift courthouse at the Honda Center in a parking lot in 90 degree heat during the pandemic
10.13.2023 (Friday the 13th) - elopement in Telluride, where I finally got to wear the dress I got in 2020. all that time, and he refused to peek. shout out to our elopement photographer @capturedbymarcela who captured the most amazing photos.
bonus 10.14.2023 - extended elopement crashed by the eclipse!!
Thank you for the most notable October 13th’s. Here’s to many many more. 🩵💜

Just going to gush about @capturedbymarcela more here. Marcela is an amazing photographer and person. She spent so much time getting to know us and our relationship before helping us scout a location and plan out a timeline for our entire elopement. She’s such a genuine, lovely person and I couldn’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for an elopement photographer in Colorado. I’m lucky enough to call her a friend now.

As always, your mileage may vary! These are some things that I’ve found helped tackling self-edits feel more manageable from the beginning.

One of the artists I commissioned art for Falling Star associated the story with the quote “A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.” - Elizabeth Gilbert
This quote is perfect for Asterin and Evrin and Falling Star, because that’s exactly what they are. Mirrors of one another, who take completely different paths.
A poem that I saw years ago that really had me thinking about monstrous soulmates and love turned sour was by Farawaypoetry. “There’s no hiding from your soul mate: they will find you, you will fall, and they will stay.” And that was so ominous and threatening to me, it sent images of fallen gods through my head, chasing each other into the next life. And now we have Falling Star!
So if you like the idea of a lovers to enemies that turns into a sapphic estranged best friends to lovers, princess x bodyguard romantasy, stay tuned for updates on my self-publishing debut! Links to my newsletter, Goodreads, and StoryGraph are in my bio!

There’s a difference! Some of the best villains and/or antagonists are the ones we understand, pity, but ultimately can’t forgive. We might almost even wish we could. But can you forgive a monster? And the monsters might even vary, depending on who the main villain of a story is.
Falling Star is full of morally gray characters, but there are some whose actions cross that point of no return. I can’t wait for you to read the book when it’s ready!! In the meantime, stay tuned for updates on my self-publishing debut! Links to my newsletter, Goodreads, and StoryGraph are in my bio!

I had to write some of my favorite tropes into my own book! But I also found that putting a spin on them could make me even more rabid for them than I am normally. I really hope that you like them too!

I never thought Falling Star would be my first book, but here we are. When I first got the idea for this story, back in 2018, I never planned to do anything with it. I only ever wanted to query books for traditional publication. Self-publishing wasn’t even on my radar. But everyone’s publishing journey seem to end up going differently than they expected, and I guess mine isn’t any different!
🩵 And if you’re just popping in, hey! I’m Jasmine, and I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human.

In my last semester of college, I was in the biggest reading slump of my life. I took a digital narrative illustration class with my friend, and we had to choose a book or series to base each of our projects on over the course of the semester. My friend chose the Shadow and Bone trilogy and told me all about it. Her illustrations were so amazing and her love for the series pushed me to go buy the trilogy with a gift card my aunt gave me for graduation. I finally had time to read again, so why not?
I devoured every one of Leigh Bardugo’s books after that. I fell back in love with reading, I read 20+ books that year. I went to YALLWEST and met all my favorite authors, went to panels, got to meet Leigh, and finally found inspiration for so many different story ideas. I finally had stories I wanted to tell. I started teaching myself craft and story structure. I followed publishers and agents and other authors online. I read so many books that made me realize I could write about my identity and experiences and there would actually be people that would want to read them.
Is there a book or series that made you fall in love with reading again? How about writing? What story made you go “I can write about that? And someone will care?”

I saw @jennavoris ‘s post with this sound on tiktok and I really wanted to make one for my book 😂
🩵 hey! I’m Jasmine, and I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human. FALLING STAR will be my self-publishing debut, and it features bi rep, soulmates-gone-wrong, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and lots of sapphic pining.

We don’t all have the same 24 hours. I don’t even have all the same 24 hours, consistently, every single day. And my days will certainly look different from someone else’s. Not everyone is able-bodied, people get tired, some people have kids, some have more than one job, some go to school. Sometimes we do have a day off and we’re just exhausted. Just because we all have 24 hours in a day, doesn’t mean they look and feel the same for every person.
I think that idea is helpful, in the sense that it’s telling you that we all have time, we just choose how we spend it. It’s not that I don’t have time to write, it’s just that I have other things I want or need to do too. But it’s important that I recognize I do have the time to write, if I set aside some time for it instead of one of the other things I wanted to do. But it’s probably not going to be every day.
You don’t need to write for hours and hours, every day, to finish a book. You can set aside time here and there. You can do the things you want to do. It just won’t might not be every day, and all at once.

Sometimes books are so broken that you can’t fix them, and you have to trunk them. Pick away at them over time, and maybe you can come back to them later, but they probably won’t look the same. The heart usually stays, though. I’ve been writing this YA horror book for a long time and I finally think I know what it’s about, but it’s only because I’ve written it the wrong way so many times. I’m excited to return to it once FALLING STAR is out in the world.

I love this template that @wordsbyde made and I had to do one for Falling Star!! Swipe to the end to learn a little more about my upcoming book!
Heathers is a comparison because of reasons… 👀 Summer storms, because something (or someone) is always looming over Asterin while she’s on the road. The palace on the top is how I imagine the Glass Palace might look except way bigger and… in space lol.

I used to think I needed to have a career in writing to write books.
I was told by almost every single teacher and professor, from high school to college, that I should look into careers that centered around books or writing. I should move to New York and get into the publishing industry. But that wasn’t financially feasible for me. I should become a journalist, interview people, write articles. But when I interviewed the dean of the journalism department at my university, I knew that wasn’t for me.
It wasn’t until I told my editing professor that I just wanted to write books, my second to last semester of college, that someone finally told me: “Just do that. Just write books.” He told me to get an office job after I graduated, something I could live off comfortably, and write books in my spare time. And it all clicked. That’s all it took. I decided that’s what I would do.
Some people can and want to take those other paths, get a writing-related career to do for a living and still work on their books in their spare time. But I knew myself. I would be so creatively spent by the end of my work day, I wouldn’t be able to pursue my own writing by the time I clocked out. And sometimes those careers require you to work late, spend extra time, attend events. That wasn’t for me. I just want to write my silly little books in my spare time. The time that’s mine. So that’s what I’m doing.

“I am not here out of obligation. I am not here because of divine duty. I chose to be here, Asterin. And if this ring tipped the scales and killed you, this world wouldn’t be worth walking.”
ICYMI: This morning I shared this stunning illustration of my princess and her bodyguard, Asterin and Oriana, from FALLING STAR! This gorgeous piece is by @imedmi who also illustrated and designed the cover for FALLING STAR, which I can’t wait to show you when the time comes! If you’re not already following Demi’s work, what are you waiting for?! I worked with Demi for the first time last May, when I started posting FALLING STAR as serial fiction, and Demi has been so patient and helpful through the process of turning my serial cover into a fully blown book cover. Not to mention, bringing this sweet moment between my two sapphics to life. Demi is truly talented, and so so wonderful to work with.
💫 And if you love this piece as much as I do, stay tuned! I’m planning to include some special goodies bundled with the book when I finally release it!

“I am not here out of obligation. I am not here because of divine duty. I chose to be here, Asterin. And if this ring tipped the scales and killed you, this world wouldn’t be worth walking.”
💫 Meet my princess and bodyguard from FALLING STAR! Don’t let this beautifully illustrated scene fool you. Asterin and Oriana have to endure A LOT (more than just Asterin’s wedding) to get to this point. They start the book as estranged childhood friends who have hardly spoken in the last two years, except for when they had to.
🗡️ This gorgeous piece was done by @imedmi , who captured these two characters in this moment better than I could have imagined. Demi also illustrated FALLING STAR’s cover, which I can’t wait to reveal in the coming months! If you’re not already following Demi’s work, please go do so!
🩵 And if you’re just popping in, hey! I’m Jasmine, and I write dark, emotional stories about finding weird magic where you least expect it, and the messiness of being human. FALLING STAR will be my self-publishing debut, and it features bi rep, soulmates-gone-wrong, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and lots of sapphic pining.

Typing and transcribing your story is just a part of writing. Remember to be kind to yourself and not sell yourself short for the work that you do, just because it doesn’t always look like words on a page.

Falling Star is a story about resilience, carving your own destiny, good intentions turned sour, and love in all its messy forms.
You can add Falling Star on Goodreads now and sign up for my newsletter for updates when I have them! Links are in my bio. 💫
Initially, the idea that inspired Falling Star was “what if your soulmate was a monster?” What if the person you were destined to be with wasn’t the best person for you—and they would always find you? I took a lot of tropes that I love and turned them on their head for this book, for better or for worse. It’s been a really interesting way to look at them through a different lens.

I know who I want my characters to be or who I think they are when I start writing my first draft, but even then sometimes the theme and character’s motivations don’t really shine through until I get closer to the end of the story.
This might vary by project, and might get easier the more books I write, but for the time being, voice is something I don’t seem to truly know until a draft is done. This makes edits exciting to jump into! I know who you all are now!! And I know how to draw that out better in my rewrites!! Now I can consider my voice, tone, mood, and even atmosphere and tie it all together.

Falling Star will be my self-publishing debut novel. It’s a sapphic romantasy about a skeptical princess who learns she is a reincarnated goddess and goes on the run with her bodyguard to find the scissors of fate before her newlywed husband catches her. It features bisexual representation, dark tones and themes, a haunted FMC with a martyr complex, a magic system inspired by Greek mythology, and more!
I can’t wait to share it with you when it’s ready.
