edit data

Lynne Russell is the author of the P.J. Santini romantic crime series, including HELL ON HEELS, HEELS OF FORTUNE and LOVE HEELS!. Like Lynne, P.J. Santini is a television journalist and a private detective. Her novel STREGA - MAGIC: THE SPIRIT NEVER DIES (published on Halloween 2021) is a completely different story of Old Italy, modern love, reincarnation and magic.

Lynne Russell broke ground as the first woman to solo anchor a network nightly newscast. She anchored CNN/CNN Headline News for 18 years, more than 33,000 international newscasts. She developed a following who admire her objective, authoritative delivery and non-conformist on-air personality and demeanor.

Lynne Russell broke ground as the first woman to solo anchor a network nightly newscast. She anchored CNN/CNN Headline News for 18 years, more than 33,000 international newscasts. She developed a following who admire her objective, authoritative delivery and non-conformist on-air personality and demeanor.

Her long-standing dedication to the people's right to know was recognized in the New York Times, which called her a "just-the-facts stalwart of CNN Headline News." In The Washington Post: "We are, frankly, devastated by the news... Lynne Russell is leaving...the future seems a little sadder." Russell hosted the first U.S. cable in the classroom project, as her CNN Week in Review was introduced in schools.

For years, she has successfully balanced her journalism career with her other "occupations": Deputy Sheriff in Fulton County [Atlanta] Georgia as jail officer, and licensed private investigator. She holds two black belts in the martial art Choi Kwang Do, is a certified open water SCUBA diver and keelboat sailor, and an enthusiastic - if clumsy - hockey skater.

All of this prompted her to write her inspirational first book, How to Win Friends, Kick Ass and Influence People (Dec.1999, St. Martin's Press), exploring the liberating concepts of appreciating and utilizing one's own abilities and talents, peaceful coexistence with the opposite sex and celebration of "la difference!". Actor/comedian Richard Belzer says, "If Xena, warrior princess could tell her story, this would be her book." A New York Times review quipped she's "a news anchor with the personality of a professional wrestler." She considers that a compliment.

After CNN, she launched Lynne Russell Red Lipstick on LynneRussell.com, and created the Benevento Lampshade Company, featuring personally handstitched, one-of-a-kind luxurious Italian silk lampshades, showcased at BeneventoLampshades.com. A nod to her Italian heritage and the romance of the Old Country.

Russell and her husband divide their time between Washington, DC and Italy. ...more
