From today any new info about my research into Shirley Nolan and her story will be posted on this blog http://www.savingshirleynolan.blogspot.com/ . Hopefully this will allow me to stick to more Leukaemia relatedissues on this blog now :-)

Could I just make a request to anyone who is on Facebook and ask that they join my "Make Shirley Nolan's book A Kiss Through Glass into a film" group. So far we are up to 18 members, but if I have any chance of getting someone onboard with this project we need a lot more !

Last night whilst carrying out my weekly search of Google for any new Shirley Nolan info, i was surprised to find one from myself !. It appears that the message that I sent to the Yorkshire Evening Post was actually published as a letter!. Anyway, this was in the October 30th edition, and being a bit ignorant I don't actually know the frequency of the publication, although if it is the...

I was feeling rather optimistic this morning after yet another call to my friends over at the BBC to enquire as to if it would be possible for me to post the Shirley Nolan "Light of Experience" DVD onto my blog. Of course i will have to go through the official channels, but it seems likely that as i am not wanting to publish it for personal gain, and as it is over 30 years old,...

So the Thanet Extra Newspaper was published on the 16th, some 5 days ago, and so far I have received erm....zero (0) emails or communications from anyone who knew either of Shirley or indeed her story. To say i am disappointed would be true, of course I do realise that these things take time to filter out of the paper and to get to someone who may be "in the know" about this subject...but...

Just wanted to ask if anyone who is reading this blog is based in Australia, ideally Southern Australia, but not essential....because I want a volunteer to help me to track down information about Shirley Nolan's life on your side of the world!. If you would like to give me a hand in my search (and have some spare time you don't mind giving), then please can you email me at the email address...

Isn't it a strange thing how when you read a book you sort of devise a voice for the characters, you know, you can hear in your head what you THINK a person would sound like.....and in this case I can admit that the voice in my head that I had decided was Shirley Nolan's was...completely wrong !:-). Why? Well having read that she was born and bred in Leeds, I had given her a classic "Yer...
