Winters’ Day In
Conversations on life, faith, stories, and creativity from author Talena Winters.
Pour a cuppa and stay awhile.

Rattling Around In My Head
About the empty nest, my current health, my amazing hubby, and how he inspires my love stories.

Very Slowly, and then All At Once
I now have an empty nest. Plus, news about my upcoming book launch for Every Bell that Rings and how to get your hands on a review copy.

Through the Fire
We’re in the worst wildfire season in Alberta’s history, but there’s a lot of other life stuff happening too. Thankfully, most of it’s good.

The Ballad of the Brown V-neck Sweater
After three years, I have finally finished the first adult sweater design I have ever attempted. Yay!


Narrowing My Focus
I’ve been busy and trying to do all the things, so it’s time to slow down again and focus on what’s next.

This Train Track Goes Both Ways
Taking a moment to look back at how far I’ve come before looking to the immediate future again.

Last Firsts
It’s my third-born’s last first day of school. I’m doing the mom thing and being proud and nostalgic.


No, I'm Not Dead
The Sphinx’s Heart coming November 16, new print covers for Finding Heaven now available, and an update on my crazy life for the last several months.

Just Roll With It
The full story of my tour through the ditch, plus a few other quick updates on the state of things around here.

Random Wordings
Updates on my brain state, what I’ve been up to with writing, knitting, and more, Patreon, author life, and a giveaway for my readers.

Turning Points
In which I talk about When Words Collide, the hierarchy my kids used to survive the weekend (and provide therapy fodder for later), the Adventures of Hagrid and Dumbledore, and purple hair. Also, a sneak peek at what’s coming next ‘round these parts.

Remembering How to Chillax
In which I discuss the family vacation, progress on The Sphinx’s Heart, and introduce our trip mascots, Hagrid and Dumbledore.

Finding Gratitude in a Week of Highs And Lows
It’s been a strange week. And by “strange,” I mean it was like there were an extra six really-high highs and kinda-sucky lows stuffed into it without much of a breather between one or the other. So, for posterity, here are the highlights, and a moment to be grateful, too.
