FUN FIRST FACTS ABOUT REGAN
1. Who was your first love?
His
name is Roy. I was 16, he was 21 and a mutual friend invited him to a New
Year’s Eve party at my house. He was tall, dark and the stuff of my fantasies
and when he asked me out at the end of the night I was in love. At the time I
lived in New York. He was studying art at Art Student’s League and I thought he
was the most brilliant artist I’d ever seen. We dated until he went into the
Army and I went off to college. He decided to end things but…not forever. I moved to California, he apparently moved to
Washington, D.C., met and fell in love with another woman and we both went
about our lives.
About
5 years ago I was looking for some art for a cover and stumbled on some
drawings that looked very familiar to me. I looked closer, did some checking
and it was Roy’s. Taking a chance I wrote him and after many, many years – a
couple of decades, we reconnected. His wife passed away two years ago and
recently he asked me what do I think would have happened had we married all
those years ago.
2. What was the first romance you
ever read?
Rosemary
Rogers’ Sweet Savage Love – and for years and years I read and reread it over
and over again. I reread it again last summer and it was as wonderful as I
remembered it being the first time.
3. Tell me about your very first
kiss?
That
was Roy. Okay there were kisses – like you know, you kiss, but they were the
peck kind of kisses. The first REAL kiss, the one with passion and romance and
bells ringing was when I was 17 with Roy. We were on a train going to
Washington, D.C. He was returning to base and I was going to a conference in
D.C. We sat in the bar car and I felt so grown up because he was in his uniform
and he ordered me a rum and coke (I know, I know, what the heck was a then 22
year old guy doing buying a 17 year old girl a rum and coke on a train – if he
happened today he’d be arrested but back then with my mother’s blessing to go,
it was a different world.) As we sat there talking he leaned over and kissed
me. At the time I was sure those were bells I heard but in retrospect I think
it was just the wheels of the train on the tracks. I gotta say that kiss packed
a wallop – and a peck’s never done it for me with a guy again.

So...? I'm dying to know what your answer to Roy was?
ReplyDeleteOh....I told him that given the time and distance as well as our ages at the time I didn't think things would have worked out. We're good friends now and I hope one day to have some of his art on one of my covers. I will say that a lot of that relationship shows up in some ways in my books and is a good part of why I love time travels. If we could travel back in time, what would we do different?
