The Author Behind The Moses Chronicles
Before she ever penned the fictional voice of Joseph, Asenath, Dinah and Ephraim or reimagined the long burial procession to Machpelah, Regina V. Roundtree-writing under the pen name RR Wekesa-was on her own journey of faith, loss, rediscovery, and redemption.
Raised in a traditional Black Baptist home in America, Regina was no stranger to the rhythms of church life. But a life-altering season of brokenness and betrayal led her to question everything-her relationships, her church, and even the God she thought she knew. It was in that wilderness, stripped of certainty, that she encountered something deeper: the quiet, steady voice of Scripture and a rediscovery of the Torah that would shape her healing.
Living abroad for over a decade-in Southeast Asia, Zambia, Kenya, and South Africa-Regina found herself learning not just from books, but from people. Sabbath-keeping communities. Torah-honoring believers. Voices that reminded her that the stories in the Bible didn't just belong in Sunday School-they were alive, nuanced, and waiting to be rediscovered.
The Moses Chronicles: Prelude was born in those quiet places. It is not simply a biblical retelling. It is the offering of a woman who walked through betrayal, chose healing, and dared to reimagine what Scripture might sound like when we sit close enough to hear the voices between the verses.
This isn't just her first book.
It's the first breath of a vision-one that will unfold across a seven-book series and, God willing, across generations.
Before there were plagues and miracles and a split in the sea, there was a family. A fracture. A promise.
And before Regina wrote a single line, there was a whisper in her heart decades ago: "Tell the full story of deliverance."
