My New Book! A Light in the Darkness: Inspirational Christian Poetry: McIntosh, Regina, Ramsey, Sheila: 9781666791693: AmazonSmile: Books

My Website:

I’m Regina Shepherd, 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 other ideas.

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) 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.

I work full time as a business owner 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 praise and worship Him. Jesus is my everything. After Jesus, I love family, my dogs, nature, reading (especially the Bible and words by some great preachers like Spurgeon and A.W. Tozer) writing and currently canning home grown veggies.
