Humor Writer of the Month: Rebecca Regnier

Rebecca Regnier is a prolific author, Emmy-winning television journalist and award-winning newspaper columnist. For more than 20 years she has written local news and lifestyle stories in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.

She describes the books in her new paranormal mystery series, Widow’s Bay, as a witty mix of True Blood and Desperate Housewives. The books combine her humor, life as a reporter and love of paranormal fiction.

She’s been honored by the Associated Press and Women in Communications for work ranging from investigative reporting to enterprise news stories. Her reports and commentary have been featured on the Gracie Award-winning show MomsEveryday, seen across the country.

In 2020, she won first place in humor writing from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for her funny columns in the Monroe News. Read the winning columns:
