Her passion is to distil her cultural heritage in dark and unusual ways through the lens of resilient young women. Shirley describes herself as having a Western Mind and an Eastern Heart and writes in the middle where both collide. She is still a Bespectacled Accountant by day and a Masked Writer at night. It was while she was working on a very dry Accounting PhD that she realised she’d rather be writing down her dark, twisted daydreams instead. Her earlier titles are Fury, Preloved and Little Jiang. Shirley’s latest title is All Four Quarters of the Moon and is a celebration of sisterhood and Chinese culture. ![]() A Glasshouse of Stars, based on her experiences of being a child migrant was the Children Book Council of Australia’s (CBCA) Book of the Year for Younger Readers in 2022. ![]() ![]() Shirley Marr is an award winning children’s author and a first generation Chinese-Australian living in sunny Perth. ![]()
