Germaine Shames, has written from six continents--soon to add the seventh--on topics ranging from the Middle East crisis to Aboriginal land rights, from the struggle to save the Amazon to the plight of street children.
Shames is author of the critically-acclaimed novel Between Two Deserts (Macadam/Cage Publishing), two earlier nonfiction books, two musical stage plays, and three feature screenplays.
Her recently released novel, YOU, FASCINATING YOU, the hidden story behind a timeless love song, has been named "Editor's Choice" by the Historical Novel Society.
Writing under the pen name Casper Silk (Hotel Noir, Echo Year) she has been called "cagey and poetic" and compared to such luminaries as F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene and P.D. James "on steroids."
Her articles have appeared in such publications as National Geographic Traveler, More, Success, Hemispheres, Byline and many others. Her essays and short fiction have been widely anthologized.
Shames holds a masters degree in Intercultural Studies. As a global executive, and later as a foreign correspondent, she has lived and worked in such diverse locations as the Australian outback, Swiss Alps, interior of Bulgaria, coast of Colombia, Fiji Islands, and Gaza Strip. She brings a tender acuity to her journalism and has made a mission of covering under-reported stories of grassroots activism and everyday heroism. Her fiction writing reflects the breadth of her worldview and fascination with the interplay of cultures, often drawing on events and settings from her sojourns abroad.

Penetrating descriptions of political brutality and the prepossession of romantic love, an ever present theme in classical ballet, make for a page-turning, impelling read." Janet Panetta, ballet master Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch
"Germaine Shames' beautiful depiction of the life of Margit Wolf and Pasquale Frustaci is told with such vivid and haunting detail, it's as if the reader is propelled back in time to witness a de...
