January 10, 2024– Regan joined our team 3 years ago (2021) and we couldn’t be happier to have her at Pandamonium Publishing House. She’s got an impressive collection of tales that range from picture books to middle-grade novels, with some upcoming projects in the works! Let’s find out more about Regan:
So far, we’ve published the books “Peter Little Wing,” “Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot,” “Tamara Turtle’s Life So Far,” and “Merry Myrrh the Christmas Bat” with Regan. These enchanting stories focus on animals in a variety of ways, from rescue efforts to neurodivergence; there’s something inclusive for everyone.
We asked Regan wat inspires her and her writing: “Animals I’ve met in one way or another, places I’ve been, particularly the forests of Ontario and anywhere in New Zealand. And of course, people I know or have crossed paths with. Even a name I come across can inspire a whole character. Walking, especially in nature, but also all over the city, is important in helping me process ideas.” Ask her about Onion and Rangi!:)
Outside of writing, what are your interests? “I love animals tremendously—they are a source of inspiration, but I also care for them as part of my other career as a Certified Canine and Feline Massage Therapist, and as a “pet mom”. I have six toads, a tree frog, two aquatic frogs, two newts, a salamander, a number of different fish, and countless shrimp living with me, along with the standard dog, cat, and husband! I am also a filmmaker and a producer and director of live theatre.” How fabulous is this? I love that she has so many different animals!
What do you hope for in 2024? “I hope for more time for my writing projects, more events and opportunities to promote my books, especially “Peter Little Wing”, and somehow I also hope to find more time for self care. I need to find time for the breaks that I need—that’s the space where new ideas usually dawn on me.”
