Welcome to StinaGene
Wherever a story takes you, discovery is waiting.
I’m Christina Owens, author of the upcoming book A Cup of Authenticitea and creator of Letters Slipped Through the Pages and Bookmarked Thoughts, where books, tea, and reflection meet to explore life’s in-between moments.
My First Book Is on the Way
A Cup of Authenticitea
A book brewed for life’s in-between moments.
Part storytelling, part reflective recipe collection. Each chapter pairs narrative with a tea-inspired journaling practice.

Letters Slipped Through the Pages
Notes discovered between the lines — addressed to you, Dear Stranger.
Think of it like being set up on a blind date in a café with a character from a book: you haven’t met this person yet, but their story might linger with you. Paired with a cup of tea and a question to carry forward - A small discovery that just might lead you to your next favorite read.
Bookmarked Thoughts
Because no story ends at the last page.
A space to unpack what your latest read stirred up; the quote that won’t leave you, the chapter that echoes, the question you’re still holding.
Hi, I’m Christina Owens
I write about discovery in life’s in-between moments; the pauses, pivots, and questions that shape who we are. Alongside a 20+ year career in education, I’ve explored many paths from real estate to Human Design, but writing, reflection, and sharing stories are the spaces I now call home.
Letters Worth Sipping On
Once a month, I share a Letter Slipped Through the Pages — a note in the voice of a character from a book, paired with tea and a reflection to carry with you. Subscribe on Substack, and let these stories slip into your days like a letter left just for you.
