About the Author

Animal lover. Fitness instructor. Author of dark and chilling thrillers.

Shirley resides in West Jordan, Utah, USA, with her husband and their four-legged children. She is a graduate of the West Jordan Citizens Police Academy, and a CERT member (Community Emergency Response Team) and a VIPS (Volunteers In Police Service) with the West Jordan police.

She enjoys the variety of “research” opportunities her stories offer, including police “ride alongs,” interviews with law enforcement experts regarding matters such as escaping handcuffs without a key and “dead man switches” for bombs. One might be surprised at the experiments she has done on herself—for novel research, of course—involving handcuffs, duct tape, chains, rope, the trunk of a car, a body bag…

Shirley describes herself as someone who loves a challenge, thrives on learning new things, and is game to try just about anything once. Hmm. Keeping that in mind when you read her novels, you may wonder how many of the stunts described in the story she might have tried on herself ... but she’ll never tell!
