1. The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine: A Young Woman's Autobiography of a 20-Year Tale of Trials & Tribulations

"Shirley Cheng's inspirational book, The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine, offers hope and motivation to overcome challenges. After reading this stellar expose of the daily sufferings of a young innocent child who was championed by the unconditional love of her mother, you will understand unequivocally that life is not what happens to you, it is how you respond to it. A brilliant treatise to triumphing over turmoil. Buy it and be revitalized," wrote Cynthia Brian, radio/TV personality and NY Times best selling co-author of Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul.

"This book will capture the heart of the reader and move you to tears as you travel down life's road with Shirley Cheng, a young author with a passion for life. Truly a star with endless shine. Well done, Shirley," commented Wanda Maynard from Sime~Gen - Reviews.

Andrea Sisco from Armchair Interviews said, "This is the story of a mother's dedication and commitment to her child, and it is most of all the story of a strong, brave and determined young woman to live her life to the fullest, even with all its limitations. Cheng dreams big dreams and has the tenacity to make them come true.

This heartwarming story is one you'll want to read."

2. Dance with Your Heart: Tales and Poems That the Heart Tells

"Fiction anecdotes are fanciful, quick reads filled with delicate prose, settings portrayed in vivid detail and entertaining characters. 'Fiery Passion' is a love story with a twist, 'Trapped in Panic,' is a poignant read with a clear lesson to be learned, while 'The Gift of Uniqueness,' offers optimism in a narrative about creatures not often thought of except in a fleeting manner.

Dance With Your Heart is an agreeable mixture of verse composition and prose each meant to awaken the spirit, give rise to laughter and bliss and enlighten the reader a bit about life. While most of the anecdotes appear simple on the surface each also offers a message cleverly woven into the tale. Each of the works; reverie, illumination and exultation offered are a pleasure to read. Writer Cheng is an intriguing woman who has a grasp for what is important and sets about to get it all down on paper for everyone to enjoy," commented Molly Martin for The Compulsive Reader.

"Cheng's graceful storytelling and poetry not only is a pleasure, but awe-inspiring, as her wisdom and understanding at such a young age is profound. Her resounding words are of encouragement and of good. She believes happiness begins in the heart and that readers should allow themselves the freedom to dance with their heart. A luminous read," wrote Christina Francine for Midwest Book Review.

"This collection of short stories and poetry will lift your spirit as you read. Filled with color and colorful imagery, bright and wonderful characters, you'll find yourself smiling as you read," said Anne K. Edwards for Mystery Fiction Voice in the Dark. "Talented Shirley Cheng's work is one of pleasant associative memories that you may want to read more than once. There is a lot more contained in this collection than just once-upon-a-time. Read and enjoy. I did."

3. Daring Quests of Mystics (New Edition with new look!)

"Daring Quests of Mystics by Shirley Cheng is a fun adventurous read for all ages. This is a fascinating book of short stories, each with a moral. I would recommend this book for all ages, I have passed it on to my teenage son to read, because the fun, magical story is also teaching while entertaining. Something that is hard to find. I look forward to the next book by this author," wrote Michelle Dunn, editor, publisher.

"Daring Quests of Mystics is a charming collection of short stories that is filled with quaint, old-world imagery and poetic visualization. Author Shirley Cheng has captured the hearts of youngsters who still beg for the fairy tale filled with Princesses, Kings and imminent danger.," said award-winning author Cheryl Kaye Tardif. "Daring Quests of Mystics is a fantastic fantasy for the young…or the young-at-heart!"

"This is a book that reminds me of bedtime stories when I was a child. All the stories have a moral. I found it to be wonderfully refreshing and look forward to seeing more books by this author," wrote W. R. Logan, author of The Song of Steel.
