multiple times as a "Letter from Paris" in The Broadkill Review. In 2017, Masuga's research group at New Sorbonne University published their findings on a project entitled "Science and Storytelling" in New Developments in ESP Teaching and Learning Research. Her debut novel, The Origin of Vermilion, was published in 2016 by Spuyten Duyvil Press, New York. It has been called "a careful and complex study of language" in which "light, maps and mirrors make up [Masuga's] documented dreamscapes." Masuga undertook a book tour of the Western United States in spring/summer 2016 for the launch of The Origin of Vermilion, which includes a video-recorded reading for Lit in the Library at Seattle Central University. Masuga's writing has further been said to "mine the toxic veins of human desire, abandonment, yearning and loss found in histories that span the globe, all of which connect at their deepest points," while giving "the reader new eyes for viewing histories as stories, told by storytellers that influence the beauty, the pain and the revelations within with each turn of time and phrase." In 2016, an interview of Masuga by Hemingway scholar Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera was included in a guest-curated essay collection of Interdisciplinary Literary Studies. In 2018, Lingua Franca, the French-language journal of The Chronicle of Higher Education, published an interview with Masuga, again by Jeffrey Herlihy-Mera. Masuga has also published on altered books, including a profile of Doug Beube in the 2018 spring issue of Book Arts arts du livre Canada, the magazine of the Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild. Masuga had a profile of the Henry Miller Memorial Library with Nexus: The International Henry Miller Journal in December 2018. In 2019, Masuga served as translator and voiceover for Air France’s mindfulness and meditation collaboration with Christophe Andre based on his best-selling work Mindfulness Day after Day (L’Iconoclaste, 2011). She also served as editor and voiceover for the four-year ERCcOMICS project of the European Research Council (2016-2020) and occasionally serves as editor and voiceover for independent projects for La Bande Destinée including Sony Flow Machines, PANBioRA and the Laboratory of Computational and Quantitative Biology (LCQB) of the Sorbonne. Her second novel, The Blue of Night, was published by Spuyten Duyvil Press in May 2020. Jillian Lauren writes, "Managing to be both heart-wrenching and hopeful, Masuga probes the very depths of what it means to be a survivor, an artist, and ultimately human." Bibliography Books
