Hi! My name is Patricia Shirra and I'm a writer for teens and young adults. I enjoy writing fiction novels and short stories. I am also a mom of two who are much of my inspiration for writing. I have been a Freelance Educational Writer since 2005. I authored ten lessons for a Pre-K/K Math Teacher's Resource Guide for use with Learning Resources® Math manipulatives (Schawk Publishing Solutions, Evanston, IL.) I welcome you to become a follower of my blog and please leave a comment. Thank you, Patricia

New YA Novel In Progress

The topics I write about are largely inspired by events in my personal life, including Pervasive Developmental Disorders and an overwhelming desire to make a mark in Hollywood. I write because I enjoy the adventures, joys and heartaches my characters experience as they pursue their dreams, against all odds. If you want something badly enough you will persevere to make it happen.

The same is true of Ethan Jameson, a talented young actor from New England who is driven to make the 3,000-mile trip from home to Hollywood so he can act in films. Will Ethan succeed? Failure is not a word in Ethan's vocabulary.

Stay tuned in for updates on The Audition (working title.)
