Hi, I’m Stepheny Rocks, an Ontario author, tax professional, and creator behind the ThistleRock family of projects.

My work sits in a few different corners: books, workbooks, tax support, children’s stories, printables, greeting cards, apparel, and creative resources. At first glance, that might sound like a lot, but it all comes from the same place: real life.

I create things for the moments people actually live through.

The folder on the kitchen table after someone dies.
The tax papers people keep meaning to sort.
The family is trying to stretch a budget.
The child is facing something new and scary.
The grown-up who just wants something useful, honest, and not wrapped in nonsense.

Through ThistleRock Tax Co., I work with real people, real paperwork, and real financial questions.

Through ThistleRock Publishing, I write books, workbooks, planners, and children’s stories.

Through ThistleRock Prints, I create greeting cards, apparel, printables, wall art, and everyday products with a bit of heart and humour.

My executor book came from the part of life people rarely talk about: what happens after.

After the goodbye.
After the funeral.
After everyone goes home.

There is still paperwork. There are still decisions, deadlines, accounts, questions, and family pressure. That is where families need real help, not vague advice.

I also write children’s books inspired by family, imagination, kindness, and everyday adventures, including stories that help children feel seen, supported, and brave in their own little-big moments.

ThistleRock is built around real help for real life, with stories, tools, and resources made for everyday people.

And yes, most of it is powered by coffee and chaos.
