Goodreads

Kirsten

“First of all, Mother, it is called a sperm bank, not a

sperm bar.” I cannot believe I am having this

conversation right now. “And where did you get this

information from?”

Max looked over at me, smirking.

“Why does it matter where I heard it from? What

will people think?” cried my mother.

“Fuck! Mom, no one is gonna care where or how I

get a baby.” I want to crawl into a hole and die. “Mom,

you wouldn’t by any chance be talking to Marie, would

you? Is that where all this came from? Did she tell you

I’m planning to go to a sperm bank? Or did she tell you

I should think about going to a sperm bank?”

“That’s not the point, Kirsten. The point is that it’s

time for you to settle down and think about having a

family. You need to be more like Marie,” my mom

lectured.

“Like Marie? My sister, Marie? The one who wears

yoga pants and ponytails everywhere and has a kid

attached to her hip? No, thanks. Don’t get me wrong,

Mom. I love Marie, but I’d rather not schedule in sex

night.”

Shawnté lives in central Alberta, with her husband Ricky of 10 amazing years and together they have two beautiful children. Somehow her husband has managed to trick her into running a cow/calf operation. As much as she fusses about it, she loves it.

When Shawnté is not sitting at her kitchen table hammering away on her laptop while watching the moose chase her cows across the yard, yes this really happens. Then she is busy attend school activities, community events and chauffeuring children here and there. She is big on playing softball and watching hockey.

When the time comes to relax, you will find her snuggled underneath her down comforter reading on her Ipad. Wait…who are we kidding, if the dishes, vacuuming, laundry or the bathrooms needs a hose down, you’ll always hear her say, “Just after this chapter.” She doesn’t have a favorite author or best story because everyday she falls in love with someone new.

Shawnté is technology challenged so you won’t find her on twitter (heaven knows she tried) or instagram – whatever this stuff is called. But she can work one hell of a Facebook page thanks for her fictitious assistant Lacy. Please go like her page and leave a review/star rating on the books she’s wrote.
