Shirley Johnson was born and raised in the state of New Jersey to an Italian-American family. Much of her zest for life and her love for family comes from that background. Married at the age of 19 to her first husband, she was thrust into the world of travel, as her then husband was a 'lifer' in the US Army.

Traveling over the next 10 years to many States in American and Countries overseas gave Shirley a good perspective of the world that we all live in. Divorced after ten years of marriage left Shirley alone with three young children to raise. Because of that experience, she learned a lot about survival and what was important in life. It was through this time that she dedicated her life to the Lord. She married Robert Johnson in 1980. Both are Ordained Ministers and have been in the ministry for over 20 years.

Shirley is a songwriter. Together with her nephew Michael, they have written over 2,000 songs, mostly Christian, but many for children. They maintain a website to share these songs with others.

Shirley is writing a humor series, "The Adventures of Fos and Prissy." So far she has completed two books in the series - " What the Heck Happened?" and "What's that Smell?" She plans at least 3 more books in the near future for this series. She also has written 100’s of children's books; some secular, some Christian. All are set to music and fully illustrated.

Shirley has a Bachelor Degree in Christian Counseling from Zoe University in Jacksonville, Florida. Although she does not use that professionally at this time, she does use the knowledge she obtained from that training in ministering to those God sends her way. She also answer prayer requests on Praise Broadcasting Network as they come in.

She is a Reviewer and Interviewer for MidWest Book Review and Denise's Pieces. She enjoys this work as she feels she is helping authors to 'get the word out' concerning their writings.
