I write a mix of books: novels, biography, short nonfiction under both Shireen Jeejeebhoy and Shireen Anne Jeejeebhoy. I set my novels in Toronto, my home for most of my life, a city of contradictions and ripe with conflict possibilities. My award-winning debut book, Lifeliner: The Judy Taylor Story, is set in Ontario, but also travels down to New York and across the pond to Sweden.
My life is one big question mark, has been ever since I sustained a closed head injury (or mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, whichever moniker is fashionable) in a four-car collision. But my writing keeps me grounded, my photography takes me to other places. I wrote about it and treatments I discovered in my revised memoir Concussion Is Brain Injury: Treating the Neurons and Me -- shortlisted in the 2018 Word Awards -- and I expanded on the learnings at https://concussionisbraininjury.com. My most recent non-fiction book Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone complements these two.
When I'm not writing, reading, taking photographs, I'm hunting for good coffee and sensational chocolate.

"I love the fact that someone mixed an alien invasion into a Christian Fantasy novel. This book was brilliantly written, with the good versus evil concept." Simone on Goodreads.com
An entity from nothing space and time, Akaesman lurks in his dominion, waiting, watching through his peephole into our world for the right prey. And when he spots a good one, he forces himself into our space and time, evading the Akaesman patrol, invading his chosen one. He spreads his evil to everyone, one by one, male and female, changing them forever into his image.
But the young songwriter and her fiancé, enjoying the end of their road trip, have never heard of Akaesman. On the eve of the summer solstice, they fly home to Toronto down a local highway past slumbering fields, toward a thick starlight-sucking forest, oblivious of their destination: Akaesman. He comes out of a green neon wind. He smacks their car; he cracks the window; he's in her. Her songwriting career is dead. Her name is gone.
When she learns of his presence, she resists him; she wrestles with him; she seeks help in her battle. Yet she loses ground. She's ready to quit. And that's when she discovers that there is more than one kind of evil...
