The Princess Test: Once upon a Kiss

Author Bio: Shirley Jump

Shirley Jump didn’t have the willpower to diet nor the talent to master under-eye concealer, so she bowed out of a career in television and opted instead for a career where she could be paid to eat at her desk—writing. She started out in journalism, selling her first article at the age of eleven and dreamed of being the next Jane Pauley. After writing three thousand articles and two nonfiction books, she decided a career as a freelance writer suited her better. Then she got married and had two kids. In the worlds Shirley gets to create and control, the children listen to their parents, the husbands always remember holidays, and the housework is magically done by elves. She has won several writing awards and though she’s thrilled to see her books in stores around the world, Shirley mostly writes because it gives her an excuse to avoid cleaning the toilets and helps feed her shoe habit.
