Katy Regnery

New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Katy Regnery has a heart for smart romance featuring strong women and decent men. Almost exclusively self-published, Katy claims authorship of over 45 titles, including three RITA® finalists, The Vixen and The Vet, Unloved: a love story, and Catching Irish. Translated into French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Turkish, Katy has sold over 1.8 million books worldwide. In July 2020, Katy revisited her outline for The Strange Affair of the Elevator, which was to be her first historical novel. But the story had no interest in being written as a book; it wanted to be a screenplay. Taking this development in stride, Katy taught herself how to write and format a screenplay and quickly completed her first draft. “The Strange Affair of the Elevator,” which is now on its fourth draft, came in 2nd overall and won its category (Historical Fiction) at Screen Summit 3, is currently a semi-finalist in the Los Angeles Film Awards and a second-rounder in the Launch Pad Feature Competition. It has also been chosen as an official selection at the Romance Film & Screenplay Fest, the New York Movie Awards and, of course, the Seattle Film Summit.
