Regan C Ashbaugh (1958 - )

Genre: Mystery

Regan Ashbaugh lives in South Portland with wife, Nancy, a social worker, and their sons, Trevor and Lucas. Trevor's autism spurred Ashbaugh to create a foundation, the Southern Maine Autism Resource Center, to provide autistic children and their families with help that is lacking in Maine. Some of the proceeds of his books benefit this foundation.

Ashbaugh has been in investment banking for about two decades and besides being a writer, is still an executive with a brokerage firm. He also serves on charitable foundation boards and is a volunteer firefighter in South Portland.

His first financial thriller, Downtick (1998) revolves around a major player on Wall Street who moves to Maine seeking refuge from a psychopath who's pursuing him. His second, In the Red (1999; Review of In the Red ) also involved the investment world. 'Ashbaugh is sort of like a [John] Grisham of Wall Street,' said Ashbaugh's editor at Pocket Books.
