Germaine Shames, a Dramatists Guild Foundation Nat’l Fellow, Kilroys List playwright, and recipient of her state’s Literary Fellowship in Fiction, is author of the award-winning novels, Between Two Deserts and You, Fascinating You. Writing under the pen name Casper Silk (Hotel Noir, Echo Year), she has been compared to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Graham Greene, and P.D. James “on steroids”.
After covering world conflicts as a correspondent and witnessing firsthand the gamut of senseless tragedies behind the headlines, she realized that hard news could never convey an iota of the deeper story she was gleaning. She turned to fiction writing, learning that she can find light in the most horrific situations and leave readers (and now an audience) with hope.
As a playwright, Shames has celebrated premieres across the U.S. as well as abroad and been recognized in a number of festivals, including LTA Annual Playwriting Competition 2025 (First Place), Scotopia Festival 2025, Women’s Voices 2024, Fulton Theatre!s Stories of Diversity 2023, Pegasus Theatre!s Fresh Reads 2023 (First Place), Page to Stage 2023, ThinkTank TYA!s inaugural Playwrights Festival, Cimientos 2019, and Festival of New American Theatre 2018.
Shames holds a Master’s degree in Intercultural Studies. She writes from a global perspective with the conscious aim of fostering interethnic, intergenerational and cross-gender understanding. It’s all about love.
