Jasmine McGaughey is a proud Torres Strait Islander and African American writer and editor.

She's the beloved co-author of tennis legend Ash Barty's Little Ash series, inspiring young readers right across the country. And her latest work, Moonlight and Dust, is a young adult fantasy novel that blends culture, identity and magic in a way only she can.

Jasmine brings a powerful cross-cultural perspective to Australian literature — and her voice is fast becoming one to watch.

She sits down with Stories From The Pacific host, Bobby Macumber, on Radio Australia.
