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.
Eleven short stories:
Two little girls, in two different eras, yearning for their parents. A shy girl in a new country. Emerging after the death of a spouse. A short short. Mother and son argue over what is dignity, what value her life. A creepy little short. The bureaucrat and his ever-so-busy day. A party that glitters. A daughter rebels. A mother and her youngest, a conflict without end? Death stalks the homeless, the vulnerable in Toronto's innocent streets.
Bonus: a 1919 story of romance, misunderstanding, and danger.
