Welcome! I’m Stephanie Hammond
I write stories shaped by real life: the hard bits, the beautiful ones, and the moments that remind us that even in the darkest seasons, there is always a way forward. Whether you’ve come here through my memoir, my cosy mystery‑in‑progress, or my newsletter, I’m glad you’re here.
My work weaves together themes of heart, hope, and second chances. I write about family, recovery, resilience, and the long thread of love that connects us across generations.
The Long Thread — my two‑weekly newsletter
Every two weeks I share reflections on memory, meaning, family, recovery, and the small moments that shape us. You can read each issue here on the site or subscribe to receive them by email.

Featured Book: An Addict in the Family
My memoir, An Addict in the Family: A Mother’s Tale of Heartbreak, Courage, and Resilience, traces my journey supporting my adult son through methamphetamine addiction and navigating the justice and rehabilitation systems. It’s a story, written in honesty and hope, for anyone who has walked a similar road or who loves someone who has.
