Regina Wekesa

A writer’s journey through faith, exile, and quiet revelation

Regina V. Roundtree, writing as RR Wekesa, is drawn to the quiet spaces in Scripture—where hearts break, heal, and walk with God. Her first novel, The Moses Chronicles: Prelude, launched an eight-book biblical fiction series that reimagines deliverance through the voices of those who lived it. Her second volume, Hands That Rock the Cradle, continues that journey with reverence, imagination, and prophetic depth.

She writes not from titles, but from reverence. Not to instruct, but to inspire. Her work is shaped by a journey of healing, Torah rediscovery, and global faith—having lived and studied across the U.S., Zambia, Kenya, South Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Through The Moses Chronicles, she brings vibrance to the relationships that shaped both history and hope—inviting readers to listen for the voices between the verses.

Praise for the Author

Neil Mammen
Renowned Apologist

"The Moses Chronicles: Prelude offers a refreshingly restrained and historically grounded entry into the world of Exodus—without rushing into the anticipated and expected themes of slavery and plagues. What sets this first volume apart is its commitment to a slow, deliberate buildup. The Hebrews are not yet oppressed; they live under a fading legacy of Joseph's influence, in a society where political tensions are simmering but not yet explosive. The author wisely focuses on what could have actually happened in the Pharaoh's palace, the intrigue, the Egyptian power dynamics, and the quiet shifts that will eventually make deliverance necessary. It’s a rational and thought-provoking beginning that respects both the biblical text and the intelligence of the reader, setting a strong foundation for the deeper drama to come."

M. M.

"The imagination of the setup of the story line of this book is nothing short of the great thoughts put on paper by the author. The tone and step-by-step storyline are so captivating that you can't stop reading."

S

"I was mesmerized while reading. I had to read certain chapters twice. Once to fully appreciate the sheer beauty of the writing and again to absorb the content. Your storytelling is so captivating that I found myself lost in the choice of words before even processing the message."

Beyond the Pages

A glimpse into the life behind the story

I’ve always loved the Old Testament—but Lynn Austin showed me how to feel it.  I read Gods and Kings in 2 days. Her Chronicles of the Kings series opened my eyes to what biblical fiction could become when written with both faith and imagination. Characters I had read about my whole life came alive with complexity, emotion, and spiritual weight.

Reading those books lit something in me—a quiet invitation to write.  To step into the spaces between the verses. To give voice to ancient hearts that still echo today. It was never just about storytelling—it was about honoring Scripture through faith-based historical fiction that moves the soul.

That’s the path I’m walking now with The Moses Chronicles—a series rooted in the Old Testament, where legacy, faith, and human emotion intertwine. Writing Christian historical fiction isn’t just a genre for me—it’s a calling to explore how sacred stories still speak.

And of course, we can’t overlook the classics—C.S. Lewis, whose The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe showed the world that spiritual truth could wear the cloak of imagination. His writing didn’t just entertain—it endured. He told sacred stories through allegory and wonder, shaping generations.

I don’t claim to write like Lewis. Or Austin. But I write with the same prayer:
That decades from now, someone might read The Moses Chronicles and feel what I once felt—moved, seen, and drawn closer to Elohim and to the heart of the story behind the story.

The Scenic Route

If I could whisper anything to my younger self, it would be this:

“It gets better. Take the scenic route. Enjoy the journey more.”

When life unraveled—when I faced heartbreak, moved across continents, or sat with grief—I used to think I had taken a wrong turn. But looking back, I see something different now. I didn’t take a detour. I took the scenic route—the slower, richer, sometimes harder road. And that’s the one where I truly met God.

Vietnam, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya… they weren’t just stamps in my passport. They were waypoints on a journey of becoming.

Coffee, Pizza, and Joy

Let me confess something simple but true:
Coffee is my morning anchor.
There’s just something about that first sip—warm, grounding, familiar.

Life these days is full: I’m writing books, parenting boys, navigating cross-cultural everything. And in the middle of all that? Coffee shows up for me. Steady. Comforting. Caffeinated.

Now about pizza… I love it. Deeply. But Kenya hasn’t quite figured it out yet. So here I am, dreaming about thin crust New York slices while stirring stew for my sons. One day I’ll find the perfect slice here—or maybe I’ll just write about it.

Because even small joys matter.

Love (and Motherhood) in a New Season

Kenya is my second home.

Love (and Motherhood) in a New Season

I didn’t expect to meet my husband in Zambia. But after years of travel, healing, and rediscovery—I was finally ready to stop being single.

So I did something bold: I joined a few African dating apps. Not because I was desperate—but because I was ready. And then I saw his profile. Something about him stood out. We started talking on WhatsApp.
We both knew we weren’t just looking for romance—we were looking for purpose. Within a few calls, it was clear: this wasn’t just chemistry. It was alignment.

He came to Zambia. We met in person. And together, we decided:
Kenya would be our new home.

Now I’m a full-time wife… and a full-time mom to three amazing boys.
At 54. And every single day, I’m reminded: Love doesn’t always arrive on time. But when it does, it comes with purpose.

Becoming a Writer (Finally)

I didn’t always know I was a writer.

In fact, I didn’t claim that title until very recently—when I finished the first book in The Moses Chronicles. And even then, it felt surreal.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
Sometimes we don’t recognize our calling until we walk it out.

This book isn’t just a retelling of Exodus. It’s part of my own healing—woven into the stories of deliverance, courage, and identity. Writing this wasn’t just creative. It was restorative. And now, I know—deep in my bones—that I was meant to write.

Not just for others… but for me too.

Motherhood at 54

Becoming a full-time mom at 54 was not on my vision board. But here I am—sleeves rolled up, heart cracked wide open, navigating snacks, homework, and bedtime prayers with three beautiful boys.

Some days I laugh at how my entire career somehow trained me for this. Other days… I’m just exhausted.

But always, I’m in awe of the grace this season requires. Grace for them, and grace for myself. And I’m beginning to understand just how much patience God has with us—His children.

Motherhood has changed how I see Him.
How I see love.
And how much mercy it takes to raise a soul.

(Also, yes, children eat a lot. 😂)

From Fracture to Wholeness

Most people don’t know this: I lived with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) for over 40 years. It wasn’t easy to explain, much less live through. My mind felt like a house with many locked doors—some I feared, some I fled, some I didn’t even know existed.

But in 2016, everything began to shift.
I found a Christian counselor in Oklahoma who specialized in DID, and with her guidance—and God’s relentless love—I started the slow journey toward integration and healing.

It wasn’t instant. But it was holy.
God didn’t reject my complexity. He met me in it. And piece by piece, He helped me become whole.

Now, as I write The Moses Chronicles, I see just how layered and sacred deliverance really is.
