Marti Regan

Marti Regan lives with her husband in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, along with her dog, cat and horses.

Before moving to the mountains, Marti worked at NASA and National Institutes of Health in Maryland. Rather than retire, she "rewired" and now combines several of her loves—writing, children and animals. Marti is the author of several children’s books.
