Goodreads asked Regan Walker:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Regan Walker First, I'd suggest reading a book or two on writing a story... understanding what "point of view" is and what is critical to drawing readers in. Then, write the story. If you are a plot person, you might want to draw up a plot. I am not so I just do my historical research and begin thinking of a story arising out of the history. Once you've got a first draft, get some critical eyes on it. Then get a good editor. And finally, examine carefully your publishing options.
