The day that Shirley contacted me to take her portrait, I was inspired instantly. A young woman about to be published for the first time?! That is something to be proud of. Shirley Marr has made me realise that we only have to make time for what we are passionate about and dreams really do come true. In amongst her full-time work, renovating her home with her husband, satisfying a passion in baking, Shirley has managed to write an intriguing novel based on a young woman whom has “everything” but her fury leads her into another world…

I have had the pleasure of reading Shirley’s manuscript and Fury will be out in bookstores in May 2010, make sure you keep your eye out for it…
