All About Me

Hi! I’m Pauline J. Grabia, a Canadian novelist and redemptive storyteller whose work explores faith, trauma, and grace in ordinary lives. A survivor of childhood abuse and neglect, I write with courageous honesty about the broken places of the human story—and how God’s mercy reaches even there.

A lifelong Jesus follower, I attend church regularly in Edmonton and credit my faith for shaping my conviction that truth, no matter how painful, can lead to healing. I hold a Bachelor of Education degree from the University of Alberta and have lived in Edmonton, AB, and Dubai, UAE, where I tutored English and began writing my debut novel, What Remains After.

I am now based in Leduc, AB. I write full-time while joyfully serving as what I call a “domestic engineer.” I have been married to my husband, Stuart, for over thirty years, and together, we delight in our two daughters—Meagan (married to Mike, with granddaughter Addie) and Emily (partner Brady, and son Lincoln).

I enjoy traveling, camping, painting with acrylics, cross-stitching, baking, fishing, and attending Aquafit classes when I'm not writing. I love quiet walks in nature and reading stories that face the dark but end in light.

Through my Stories of Consequence brand, I invite readers into fiction that tells the truth, honors the pain, and reveals redemption.

“I believe in writing the truth, no matter how unpleasant—and in showing how God’s grace can reach through the darkness and redeem the lost.”.
