Sally Bjornsen is a single girl turned happy wife and stepmother. Five years ago she took the plunge, said goodbye to her carefree single life and became a full-fledged stepmother, wife and collaborative co-mamma.

A marketing veteran, Bjornsen has been thinking and writing about women for several years. She started her marketing career at NIKE, Inc. in the mid 80s when she, along with ten other women, launched SIDE 1 a women's only fitness brand. Bjornsen later moved to Seattle and opened VOICE an advertising agency specializing in marketing to women. VOICE was a big success drawing clients such as Ann Taylor, Women's World Cup Soccer, SIDI Bicycle Shoes, Sierra Designs, Microsoft, KIBU.com (a website aimed at teenage girls), and other local clients. After several years in the advertising agency business and four years into her marriage, Bjornsen and her husband Mark decided to have their own child. Now she is a happy stepmother and bio mom as well as a commercial artist representative and writer.


Bjornsen has a degree in liberal arts from Oregon State University and has completed the writing certificate program at the University of Wasington. She writes both Sally Bjornsen, author of The Single Girl's Guide to Marrying a Man His Kids and His Ex-wifenonfiction and fiction pieces and has been published in various business trade journals. Along with writing, Bjornsen has also been a stepmother guest expert on the ABC Radio Network's nationally broadcast "Satellite Sisters." Bjornsen lives in Seattle with her husband Mark, their son and her two stepsons.
