edit data

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, a CERT member (Community Emergency Response Team) and a VIPS (Volunteers In Police Service) with the West Jordan police.

Shirley enjoys the variety of “research” opportunities her stories offer. She’s been on police “ride alongs,” conducted interviews with law enforcement experts regarding matters such as escaping handcuffs without a key and creating “dead man switches” for bombs.

With the help of willing accomplices, she’s role-played scenes, including being “kidnapped” and thrown into a car, zipped up in a body bag, and locked in the trunk of a car, only to name a few of her stunts!

Formatting and Editing Needed Wow. Very challenging to read. Never read a book with single paragraphs going on for pages. Dialogue is almost nonexistent.
