How old were you when you read your first Georgette Heyer novel?
Truthfully? No idea. It was a long time ago.
What was it?
I honestly couldn’t say.
How did you discover her work?
See, this is the problem with having such a bad memory. Sometimes, you don’t remember the good stuff…
Did Heyer lead you to read other authors in similar genres?
Not really, no. But then, who could compete?
Which of her books have you read the most often?
Frederica, Powder and Patch, The Talisman Ring, Faro’s Daughter.
Which, if any, would you never read again?
Cousin Kate.
If you could be a Heyer heroine, which would you choose?
Sarah Thane, because nothing phases her and she’s having so much fun!
Which Heyer hero (or heroine) would make the best husband/wife/partner?
Sir Gareth.
How has Georgette Heyer influenced your life?
Endless hours of entertainment and a great read to share with my family and loved ones.
