Shirley Petrandis began writing at the age of 5, when she started piano lessons and creating her own songs. Reading, even at the earliest age, was one of her greatest delights and she spent many an hour curled up in my grandmother's upholstered chair reading anything and everything from The Old Man and The Sea to Great Expectations.

She has written poetry and lyrics for the most part of her life, up until four years ago when she began to enter the world of novel writing, and now has a novel in final edits-- as well as two other's still in the works.

She often works with musicians, putting lyrics to their songs. Presently, some of her lyrics are climbing the charts with a European Pop Artist she was contracted to provide the lyrics for an entire album.

Keep an eye out for this incredible talented lyricist, poet, and writer!
