AUTHOR JASMINE THOMPSON

As a public servant, writing was a big part of Jasmine’s working life, but it wasn’t until she retired that she tried her hand at creative writing, using her imagination to create stories. Retirement opened up a whole new life, when she joined Tawa U3A and their choir and writing group. Now living with her husband in an independent living retirement village in Kapiti, singing and writing continue to be an important part of Jasmine’s life.
