Shawna K. Whaley was born in Savannah, Georgia on February 14, 1979. She is the middle child with three full-siblings and one half-brother. Shawna primarily grew up in Southeast Ohio in Athens County.

Shawna knows that life isn’t always all rainbows and sunshine, but it isn’t always clouds and nightmares either. She is a domestic abuse survivor—she has suffered abuse in some way or form for most of her life. And she suffers from severe chronic depression. Her self-esteem has taken a major hit, and some days she will tell you she's not even sure if she has any…but she uses what little bit she has to advocate for others. She tells her story to help others see they aren’t alone. By staying silent, abusers win. We cannot stay silent. With that in mind, she does what she can to spread as much kindness and encouragement as possible.

She started babysitting at an early age, around 9 1/2 years old, and has always enjoyed reading to children and writing little stories and poems. She wrote her children's book 'Not Bedtime, Almost' for her oldest daughter when she was around 2-years-old as part of their bedtime routine. When not writing, Shawna works full-time in customer service. Sometimes, even authors have full-time jobs! LOL
