Shirley Guendling

Shirley Guendling is a lifelong lover of books. Growing up during the Depression in Chicago, Illinois, books were not that plentiful. Money for books? Unheard of.

When there were no new books, Shirley dreamed up stories for the paper dolls she played with.

She and her parents moved to the suburbs when she was in her late teens. There, she met her late husband, Donald.

Shirley and Don had two beautiful daughters, Cathy and Wendy, who gave them four wonderful grandchildren, Jenny, Christine, Brian, and Janet. Her family expanded once more to include four great-grandchildren, Madison, Jackson, Dean, and Emma—all treasures for Shirley.

As the grandchildren grew, Shirley encouraged them to be readers and lovers of books.

When they reached adulthood, Shirley found she needed another outlet to fill her days. That’s when the perfect job appeared! Working at the local library! All the old and new books surrounding her were ideal.

For 22 happy years, Shirley worked at the library.

Writing Consequences has been a joy. She finds such pleasure when writing. The characters become real, and she cares about them.

She hopes you will feel the same and love Consequences—the second she’s written and available on Amazon. The first, I Believed You, a murder triangle romp, is available on Amazon, too.
