The Making of Regan Walker

As a child, she penned tales of brave heroines, but a career in law beckoned. After years serving clients and working in high-level government roles, Walker’s passion for international travel and history shaped her storytelling. In 2009, during an economic downturn, she rediscovered historical romance novels, diving into works by authors like Kathleen Givens. Inspired, she began writing her own, debuting with Racing with the Wind in 2012.
