Mariam Kobras is the author of the Stone Series, contemporary romances with a light twist of suspense. Born in Frankfurt Germany, she currently lives in Hamburg with her husband and two sons. After studying American Literature and Archeology at Giessen University she spent several months in Toronto, Canada. Mariam has worked as an English tutor, served as a lay Judge in Juvenile Court, and managed the rookie Hamburg Blue Devils American football team. Most recently she founded the Theater Project at a local Hamburg High School where she wrote and staged plays. The huge success of this venture gave her the courage to try her hand at a novel.
When her husband gave her a laptop for Christmas three years ago, to encourage her writing, she was off and running. Within a year she had written the first draft of her book. The storyline for The Distant Shore was inspired by her fascination with the limitations fame can impose on people. Her book explores the value of love in a world where money and a front-page photo are sometimes more important than a person’s soul.
