Regina Jetleb hails from Toronto but has now made her home in beautiful Brantford, Ontario. Regina’s passion, as a young child, was sitting in trees and losing herself in a world of written words that took her into new realms. Her dream was to one day write stories for others to live in. Regina has worked with children for over 20 years and is passionate about many issues some children and youth face today.
Regina’s dream started to come alive when she met Mary Cushnie-Mansour (Writer on the Run). Mary encouraged her to publish her story, “What About Hailey,” the first book in the “What About” series. This series now has three delightful stories with the addition of “What About Dylan” and “What About Lucas.”
Regina began thinking about the issues teens might face today and created the “Mall Series”: “Girl in the Mall,” F.I.N.E. is a Four Letter Word,” and “Boy in the Arcade.”
Regina has added two delightful children’s picture books, “Why the Markers Cried,” and “After Crying, Try Trying,” both inspired by her work with young children in her home daycare.
Currently, Regina is branching out into the adult world and working on a novel with a ghostly theme!
