Check out my new Blog!

I'm having so much fun with our Till Meat Do Us Part blog and have decided to create another blog to share my passion for reading and writing.

Reading, Writing and Ranting with Shirlee will be a place where I will share the books I'm currently reading, have read and am dying to get my hands on. I encourage you to share by commenting on my blog. On the drop down menu you can choose "anonymous" if you don't have an account with any of the servers they mention. Just put your name in the body of your comment so I know who you are.

I love it when I recommend one of my favorite books and I get a call from the person saying how much they enjoyed it too. To me, it's all about sharing. I love to read, but have given away more books than I can shake a stick at. I love to scour garage sales and find books for a dime or a quarter. It makes me think I've hit the jackpot and keeps a smile on my face for a long time.

Right now I'm busy getting my latest novel, RAIL KILLERS ready to publish. It should be ready by this time next week. I will let you all know when you can order it from your favorite bookseller. I'm also working on our cookbook TILL MEAT DO US PART, which will probably be ready in the Spring. We still have lots of recipes to test before it's ready to publish. My TRAPPINGS novel is also close to publication and should be ready in January.

I had my brother, Scott Wimer take some headshots of me for the back of RAIL KILLERS. I was tired from posing and made a face, which he quickly downloaded to facebook and shared with friends and family. Here it is:

 That wasn't quite the look I was going for. Instead, I chose a more subdued photo, as you can see on my blog.

I just created this blog a few minutes ago and will work on the format next week. I encourage you to submit comments on reading or writing. We should get into some interesting topics.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
