Who's this?

Shalana, that's me ...pronounced Shu-la-nuh. (I knew you were scratching your head over that one.) I'm a small town girl in heart & values. In my professional journey of 20+ years in the publishing industry, I've lived several places across the United States from Little Rock to Kansas City to Milwaukee. Along the way, I earned both a B.F.A. in graphic design and an M.Ed. in Instructional Technology. I now reside in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where I absolutely love bike rides with my family along the shore of Lake Michigan. I am a wife, mom, hardworking solopreneur, published author and editor, jack-of-all trades designer, and all-around resourceful gal with lots of creative ideas floating around in my head. 

​I founded my own indie publishing business in January 2017 called 123 Journal It. My high quality line of religious study and hobby books are now available globally through Amazon, Wal-mart, Barnes & Noble, and Etsy. If you'd like more career details, browse my portfolio and resume pages.
