LYNNE RUSSELL anchored CNN for 18 years, the first woman to anchor a regular network primetime nightly newscast, 33,000+ of them. For her unbiased dedication to the People’s Right to Know, The New York Times called her a “just-the-facts stalwart of CNN Headline News”. They also called her a news anchor with the personality of a professional wrestler, which she took as a compliment. In the Washington Journalism Review: a spot as Best in the Business. Private investigator, double black belt and former Deputy Sheriff, Lynne now writes romantic crime novels and...tales of magic. She and her husband live near Washington, D.C. and in Italy.
