Creators
Shirley Marr wishes she were many things. Like the front woman of a hot band rocking an audience in an ultra-short mini, but unfortunately she’s tone deaf with appalling emo poetry skills. It's a good thing then that writing is her biggest, maddest love. Shirley writes what she describes as tragedy-comedy-drama YA fiction with “Mad-Bad-Little-Miss-Lady-Macbeths”. She is the author of the YA novels Fury and Preloved. Shirley is an accountant by day and a writer by night. She also has a website: www.shirleymarr.net
Reviews
If you love Gossip Girl, you’ll fall hard and fast for this addictive thriller. 4/5 stars.
Girlfriend Magazine
A real page turner, absorbing and powerful … Highly recommended.
Reading Time
I just have to say that the first chapter would have to be one of my all time favourite first chapters in a novel I have ever read
Lost in Stories
…Eliza, a stand-up comic voice replete with the conventions of oral comedy: deliberate verbal red herrings, asides, careful timing, punchlines, one liners. To me, Marr’s character Eliza is a modern and very upmarket version of Kylie Mole
