About this author

Shawndra’s debut novel, Couple Friends, started as a screenplay a year and a half before publication. Her second novel, Keepsakes, is in the editing stages. She works as a copywriter and social media consultant with two eguides about her professions in the works. She's also a weekly music columnist for Savannah Morning News, the dining editor for South magazine, and has contributed to Travel+Leisure, BeerAdvocate, Media Bistro, Snooth, Cigar Aficionado, and Forbes Travel. She lives in Savannah, Georgia with her husband and first-look editor Gary and their Boston terrier Massy. She spends her free time trying craft beers, traveling whenever possible, competing in mud runs, and of course, reading.


Climbing these mountains like reaching my goals

Think I can reach the top where 1,000,000 words await?


So to kickstart 2013, I made a promise to myself to write for my books (as opposed to article, social media, or email writing) at least 90 minutes per day. I’d say that I stuck pretty closely to it despite January being the busiest month I’ve experienced since beginning this freelance journey as a writer and social media strategist 19 month...

Shawndra Russell is 20% done with The Happiness Advantage: I absolutely love this book already and am so glad I picked it up. I've been going through some difficult things but always have been highly motivated & positive. I feel like myself again after reading this book, and am already more determined than ever to reach my goals. Entrepreneurs & self-employed should definitely read it too (it focuses on companies and employees) but applies perfectly to us!

Very original, such an honest and behind-the-curtain story of alcoholism, family, and life. Every choice comes with substantial consequences for the main character. I also enjoyed the abrupt and isolated first chapter from another point of view (the...more
