‘My Story’ – a self-published memoir spanning Shirley Reynolds’ childhood and parts of her adult life – was partly written, partly told by author Shirley Reynolds, and  produced by On Time Typing, Editing and Proofreading.

Shirley says:

This story is about my happy childhood. Living all around the North Island. Coping with death and grief, and growing up, and my work as a prostitute. It’s about the love of my life, Michael, in New Zealand and Australia. Being a working girl in the underworld, in Melbourne.  The violent assault that put me in a wheelchair. And my story is also about living with bipolar disorder. But most of all, this story is about my big, beautiful family and our love for one another. I hope you enjoy it.
