Well, a gal I used to work with (also a copy editor) still emails me with particularly thorny grammar questions whenever she gets in an argument with one of her editors. Apparently citing me is enough to get them to shut up. ;-)

I love the Regency period. I haven't read any newer Regency romances, but I've read every Jane Austen novel multiple times, as well as most of Georgette Heyer's works. And I used to teach Regency dancing and make Regency costumes!

A chat sounds great -- my email is christinejpope@gmail.com.
