Have fun! And if you need more Regina Scott after you've finished La Petite Four, head on over to Regency Reads where several of the books mentioned above are available in e-book form.
Okay, here are the answers!
ReplyDelete1. False. Regina is an independent risk communication consultant when she’s not immersed in the gracious world of the Regency.
2. (b) a Regency dandy, of course! Just to liven things up at writers’ conferences, Regina occasionally appears as Sir Reginald…though her Regency lady costumes are equally charming and convincing.
3. True. Regina is the proud mom of two teenage sons.
4. (a) James Bond. And Regina's favorite is Sean Connery, although she'd take Pierce Brosnan or Timothy Dalton in a pinch.
5. True. Regina didn't get her driver's license until she was 19, had her first real date around the same time, and didn't finish college until she was 25. But boy has she been making up for it since then!
6. (c) Antique books. One of Regina's most prized possessions is an 1817 two-volume set of the memoirs of John Harriott, founder of the Thames Police, given to her by her husband and friends.
7. False. Although Regina is a born-again believer and an active member of the Church of the Nazarene, her father is a retired electrician/quality assurance engineer who last served with the Washington Air National Guard.
8. (c) Dark, curly hair that's frizzier in the rain, but (a) is also valid. I have no clue about their shoes sizes.
