Award-winning author Lena Gibson is a storyteller as an elementary school teacher and keeper of the family lore. As someone with autism, she often creates characters that reflect this experience.

A voracious reader from childhood onward, Lena seeks wonderful books in which to escape. She loves interesting characters and fast-paced, emotional narratives, leading her to write genre-defying stories in multiple categories. While her books are disaster romance, time slip, dystopian adventure, and sports romance, all are about love, resilience, and hope.

When Lena isn't writing, she reads, practices karate, and drinks a ton of tea. She resides in New Westminster, Canada, with her family and their fuzzy overlord, Ash, the fluffiest of gray cats.

My first book took over 20 years to finish because I dabbled, mostly writing during my summer vacations.
My love of writing was re-ignited in the summer of 2017 and I have tried to spend at least an hour a day writing or something writing adjacent. (less)

Lena Gibson, The Edge of Life: Love and Survival During the Apocalypse

“A few bison roamed on and beside the road, but the herd congregated on the right near the water source. He and Kat sat on the hill and waited for the animals to leave the road. Kat snapped a few pictures with her phone and of the two of them. They didn’t have to wait long before the herd moved on.”

Lena no more ereader as of yet...but thanks for the site link.


Ashley Books such as "Frankenstein" can be found as a free ebook on The Gutenberg Project (www.gutenberg.org). They are legit and safe. They have many of the older, classic books: Tarzan, Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, etc. Just in case you wanted to read them a little faster.
