Hi! I'm Sr. Allison Regina.

I love to write all sorts of things: picture books, young adult novels, nonfiction books for kids and teens—basically, anything Jesus inspires me with, the more fantastical the better.

I believe God can speak to us in powerful ways through stories. I strive to write books that inspire readers to meet him more deeply in their everyday lives, blending mystery and wonder with the truths of Catholicism through premises that range from fantasy to real life (though, I often find that real life is stranger than fiction!).

Although I love writing, I am first and foremost a religious sister. I fell in love with Jesus while I was in college, and I became a Daughter of St. Paul after graduation so that I could spend the rest of my life with him. Since then, I’ve had many adventures with my sisters, only some of which involve writing books. I am currently serving as an editor for Pauline Books & Media, the publishing house of the Daughters of St. Paul, and obtaining my MFA in Writing for Young People from Lasell University. Other random fun facts about me:

 

  • My confirmation saint is Saint Cecilia. I do love music, but it’s more because of her life story.
  • My favorite color is blue, and now I get to wear it every day! (I promise that is not why I joined the Daughters of St. Paul)
  • If I’m not praying, reading, or writing, you can probably find me exploring a new place on a run. Possibly with alligators.

 

If you read my books, please know that I have been praying for you since long before they were published. If you don’t read my books, well, that’s fine too. I’m a nun, so I pray for everybody.
