Poet | Regina McIntosh (reginariddle.wixsite.com)

I’m Regina Shepherd (maiden name), Hill, Riddle - McIntosh… but I’ve only had things published under my names – Regina Hill and Regina Riddle and Regina McIntosh, who I am currently. I enjoy writing and hope to write something that shares my heartfelt joy in the Lord. I love God above all else and want to please Him above all else. I hope to write more Christian original poetry and have other ideas which include the possibility of writing something surrounding my home, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina and all the Appalachia that I love.

I have poems published here on Poetry Soup and many of my poems have been published by Blue Mountain Arts (SPS Studios) in their calendars, anthologies and greeting cards. I’ve also had poems published in the magazines True Love and True Romance (if I’m recalling the names right). I’ve had a few essays and articles published (mostly by regional magazines like Our State) and – I haven’t tried to have too many things published for a few years. I do hope to submit some of my writings as time allows. 

Most recently, my poems appear each month in Blue Ridge Christian News, a local paper for Christians and I am currently working on devotionals that will possibly be  published in early 2024.

I work full time at the Altec, a factory that makes truck beds for different companys - tree trimming companies, electric companies, etc...  so write what I can during my spare time. I believe God inspires me to write and I hope to, as I’ve already said, write things that provide praise and worship for Him. Jesus is my everything. After Jesus, I love my husband, Morris, my Mama, and all my family, my dogs, nature, reading (especially the Bible and words by some great preachers like Spurgeon and A.W. Tozer) writing and currently love canning home grown veggies. I also enjoy cooking, camping and my favorite holiday is, naturally, Christmas!!!

I hope to learn more about all of you wonderful writers who shine a light here at Poetry Soup. Just shoot me a email if you would like to know anything I can offer.
