Hi, my name is Shireen Barnes. I was born in a small town in Franklin, Virginia. I also graduated from high school in 1979 and went to Bon Scour nursing school as a CNA, and I own my business, which is called Precious Boutique. I am a married woman of thirty-plus years. I am married to my lifelong friend, Thomas Barnes, and have two sons. I also have seven grandkids that consist of three boys and four girls. I also love spending time with them all, writing, cooking, gardening, and attending church events. I, Shireen Barnes, have always taken care of others, and now I would like to accomplish some things of my own, working on my books.
