Book Signings and Fun

About the Book: On a frigid November night at high tide, a young woman unties the dock lines and watches the land recede as the sailboat she’s standing on floats out to sea. She has a jacket, a scarf, and a deep need to reinvent herself. Living Tidal is part adventure, part love story: a coming-of-age memoir that captures the hearts and minds of readers with each page. Journalist Sheena Jeffers addresses the curiosity, self-doubt, and the desire we all have to deeply experience the world as we embark on the lifelong journey to know ourselves.

About the Author: Sheena began writing as a young girl, scribbling the happenings around her into the pages of her Lisa Frank journal. As boxes began to overflow with journals, a thought occurred to her: “Maybe you should chase this writing thing down a bit,” and she registered for creative writing classes in middle school.

Her love for writing eventually landed her a scholarship for a journalism degree, which she completed and then added on an English degree. Her work has appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Washington Examiner, Waterborne Magazine, Sailing Scuttlebutt, and the anthology, Facing Fear Head On: True Stories from Women on the Water.

She has been featured on TODAY.com, the Inspired Woman’s Podcast, the Roanoke Times, and in 2016 she was awarded “Millennial on the Move” by Mag.

During her travels, she was the host of podcasts Breathe Full and Seas Life for Good, as well as the producer of a sailing YouTube Channel that gathered over 10,000+ engaged followers.
