Regina Pickett Garson is an internationally published writer, poet and online publisher. A Behavioral Scientist by training, her publishing contributions have ranged from the hard, to the social and behavioral sciences, and causes, to the pure creative. She is a technical writer for the Ares First Stage Element, which is in development at Marshall Space Flight Center. She also edits academic resources for NASA's educational outreach program. Her technical offerings have included writing for and about the Internet, computers, and technology on both a hands-on and industry reporting level, and teaching Microcomputer courses at an area college. A word smyth by trade, she has also taught Communications and English Composition courses.

Regina has significant experience developing and publishing online self-help resources, including Magic Stream, which was among the earliest online self-help resources. She has written, developed and/or covered, diversity related materials and issues, career and professional development resources, labor and workplace resources and issues, and resources for coping with discrimination and harassment. She has worked with and covered political issues, women's issues, race and minority issues, cultural diversity, and gender and violence as they affect, and are affected by individuals and society as a whole.

She has been recognized in areas as diverse as grass roots activism, humanitarianism, community service, website design, self-help, mental health outreach, fitness, academic excellence, poetry and fiction. Regarded as an Internet pioneer, she has been internationally recognized for her online contributions in web development, mental health outreach, and grass roots activism.

On the creative end, Regina is a classically trained pianist and spent the first half of her life as a musician. From gospel quartets to a classical duo with a violinist, after spending her early years on the local stage, and starting into a performance major at the University of Alabama, she chose to write. With time though, the music has slowly figured back into her life and her writing. She has published poetry, short stories and essays, is an art critic when she has the time for writing fun, and has a long waited novel, One of Our Own, in the works. One of Our Own delves into the social fabric of the South, the dark side of the decade that roared; moonshining, bootleggers, coal mines, labor unions, WWI flying aces, and the liberated women of the day.
