Welcome to StinaGene

Wherever a story takes you, discovery is waiting.

I’m Christina Owens—author and creator exploring life’s in-between moments through books, tea, and reflection.

My First Book Is on the Way

A Cup of Authenticitea

Short stories and journal reflections steeped in humor, heart, and a little bit of wonder, A Cup of Authenticitea invites readers into the messy, magical in-between spaces of life. The moments when clarity is still brewing, courage is still warming, and you’re not quite the person you were, but not yet who you’re becoming.

It’s cozy, it’s honest, and it asks just the right questions at just the right time.

Letters Slipped Through the Pages

Imagine getting a letter from a character in a book — one that feels like sitting down together over tea and stories. Each one is written in their voice, paired with a question to carry forward and a small spark that might lead you to your next great read, or simply a character in passing you’ll remember.

Bookmarked Thoughts

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. Because no story ends at the last page.

Pause & Reflect

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.
