“Shawn entertained and educated us as she walked us through what made her decide to write her book and the trials and tribulations of writing it and getting it published (for all you writers out there, she says writing the book is 10% of the work involved, the remaining 90% is finding the right publisher, editing and promoting). Shawn’s book has taken off and was one of the SWAG items given out at the Oscars this year. We were entertained with a few stories about her experience at the Oscars and finally were able to purchase the book and Shawn kindly signed them all.“

“If you have kids, you need this book! Even if you don’t have kids, you need this book. Texting is here to stay and has become a valuable communication tool; don’t get left in the dust. Shawn will guide you through! “ Rae Lynn
