Rima Jbara is the only Middle Eastern author to write and publish in the English language, a second language to her at the age of fourteen in the early 1992 and went on to publish six more in the following 6 years before pursuing her bachelor’s degree.
She paved the way for young Middle Eastern authors to write and publish in a second language and was a visionary by self-publishing her works much before the option became available post the millennium.
Her works entertain yet educate readers by intertwining imaginative stories with factual events. Selecting topics that intrigued her with an intuitive approach and a playful manner.
Her 17 novels vary in topics; from philosophical, psychological and contemporary fiction to erotica, suspense and fantasy.
Rima holds a Bachelor’s Degree in English Literature and Communication as well as a Master’s Degree in Strategic Research Marketing.
