More than Words

Dear Reader,

For decades, the whole of my writing career, in fact, I have had a running difference of opinion with the agents and editors responsible for taking my words to market. I believe readers are as intelligent or more intelligent than the authors whose books they read.

Goodreads reinforces my belief.

I am new to Goodreads, wide-eyed, and have not ceased to marvel at the insightful and sparkling exchange among subscribers, not to mention the high caliber of reviews. As I surf the bookshelves and forums I find myself nursing a bright, fierce hope: that my novels will find a good home here. That YOU, discerning reader, will appreciate my best efforts as a writer and take my characters to heart.

In the weeks ahead please watch for announcements about my forthcoming novel, You, Fascinating You, the hidden story behind a timeless love song. Until then, happy reading!

Germaine Shames,
author of Between Two Deserts
