Mrs Shirley Corlett visited Foxton Beach School this afternoon. Shirley has been a writer all her life but has only been published in the last 15 years. Her first book "The Hanging Sky" was an adult history book and we found out it took her 10 years to write this book. She has since written young adult books including "The Stolen" which won the Tom Fitzgibbon Memorial Award. She was also shortlisted for the 2005 New Zealand Book of the year.
