Shereen Malherbe is a British Palestinian writer based in both the UK and the United Arab Emirates. After visiting her father's home-land she was compelled to capture and preserve her family's history, which ultimately led to her first novel Jasmine Falling. Her aim in writing Jasmine Falling was to convey the hope that the Palestinian people exude with characters that represented positive aspects of both sides in the ongoing conflict that surrounds them. Shereen Malherbe is also a writer for Muslimah Media Watch, a forum for critiquing the images of Muslim women in the media and pop culture.
