Born on June 11th, 1982 and raised in Washington, D.C, Mr. Fredericks experienced living in the city with drug infestations and alcohol.  Reginald, however, was not involved in either one, but was very premiscuous at an early age.  As a teenager, he discovered his talent and ability to write creatively and beautifully.  He began writing extensive journal entries by his 7th grade year, but by his 9th grade year he was beginning a new-born writer for the world of literature.  By the time he finished high school, he was already a well-known poet in his own writing. It wasn't until his first year of college where he really began publishing informally over the Internet. 

 

"True Love: A Friend's Secret Pain" is among his first short story piece about a girl who discovers that she's in love with her best friend and is perplexed on how she's to reveal the secret.  The story has several reviews and is among the best of his work.  Others include "The Power of Prayer" and "My Burning Passion for the Lord", which is Reggie's Passion of Christ in popularity and quality to his work.  Another poem, "For Me" is among the best piece of poetry that he has written for the spiritual audience.  Also, his official published work is included in an anthology for "The Live Poets Soceity" in New Jersey.  The Live Poets Society publication knowns as "Of Faith & Inspiration" includes his semi-final poem "Destiny's Purpose."

He's also the sibling of four, of which he is the middle.  He has two brothers and a younger sister.  His immediate family residents in Charlotte, NC.

 

 

"My writing is also my story.  Everything I write, I've lived already, am living it, or will soon live it.  It's all personal for me. The main goal of my writing is to reflect the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ as well as my personal testimony of how I got to know Him.  It's my personal philosophy that keeps me going which is: "Whatever the Lord gives you to write, do it and share it.  Besides, it's a reason for everything."  I write, because I love it and it is my own world.  I hope it will be yours too!"
