Sasha Johns, Writer

Sasha is constantly inspired by the century-old house she inhabits in the heart of Columbiana along with her husband, Robert, and three kids. She is a community columnist for the Shelby County Reporter and co-founder of Common Threads Storytelling. When she’s not spinning a tale or writing about the happenings in our county seat, she can be found at the SCHS football stadium watching her kids march in the Pride of Shelby County Band.

Christiana Roussel, Writer

Where should we have dinner? Where should we go on our next family vacation or couple’s getaway? What kind of shotgun should I buy? These are all queries writer Christiana Roussel has answered in recent months. While food writing is her original passion, she has really enjoyed expanding her repertoire to include travel and sporting activities that might involve an upland adventure. And no, it is not just because there might be a need for new clothes for the expedition.
