About

Meet The Woman Behind The Pensive Mama

Samantha McKeag is a mommy, wife, volunteer coordinator, freelance writer, and author. With a 6-year-old and multiple businesses, as well as a full time job, her daily struggles to be a good mom, a good wife, a good employee, a productive member of her community, and an entrepreneur can make for some pretty tough days, but she wouldn't trade it for the world! Samantha's biggest joy, however, is sharing her hurdles, struggles, and triumphs with other mommies and wives who may be able to benefit from her experiences. She enjoys connecting with her local community and finding different ways to help those around her.

​

Samantha's life revolves around writing, working as a medical researcher by day and a novelist by night. Apart from writing, reading is her other passion. Samantha enjoys losing herself in a story - whether her own or someone else's - preferably next to an open window on a rainy evening with a nice glass of wine. Samantha can find inspiration in almost anything, so you're sure to be hearing a lot from her in the years to come.

​

While working and raising her son, Samantha has been steadily increasing her writing portfolio. To date, she has been contributed to many print and online publications including Northern Ontario Tourism, Ottawa Mommy Club, and numerous brochures and newsletter for Executive Cultural Tours. As well, she has three published novels, Heart:Found (for which she is currently writing a second version). Home, and Best Chance. At the moment, she is working on her fourth book, yet untitled, which will be a fiction story centered around life in Cuba, inspired by her most recent trip to the beautiful country. Keep a look out for that!
