She enjoys reading and swimming, and wishes there were some feasible way to combine the two. In addition to spending a lot of time writing, she is attempting to learn how to speak Japanese.

Master of None by Sonya Bateman
If you took parts of the Arabian Nights and remade them in an urban fantasy mold, one of the stories would come out something very similar to Sonya Bateman’s Master of None. Gavyn Donatti, a professional thief, is hired to steal a small item for a local crime boss, but somehow Gavyn manages to lose the item before handing it over to his employer, and this bit of bad luck ends up sending Gavyn on the run. He is saved along the way by a Djinn named “Ian.”
