\"\"<\/a>Veteran Regency author Regency Regina Scott joins us again to tell us a little more about her writing, as well as her love for Regencies. Regina\u2019s first published book was The Unflappable Miss Fairchild<\/em> in 1998, with Zebra Regency Romance. Since then she has published continuously, with 19 novels and four novellas to her credit. In the last couple of years, she has turned to writing Regencies with a Christian tone. These have found a home with Love Inspired Historicals<\/a>. Her fifth Christian Regency, The Rake\u2019s Redemption<\/a><\/em>, is out this month.<\/p>

\"Fire<\/a><\/div>\n

1. Last time you were here<\/a>, you told us about how you fell in love with the Regency time period. What can you tell us about the setting of this new book?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This story is set entirely in London during the Season, but my hero is on the fringes of Society by his own choice, so there\u2019s only a couple balls and most of the action takes place out of doors\u2014driving in the forgotten corners of Hyde Park, meeting in secret at Vauxhall Gardens, dueling on Primrose Hill.<\/p>\n

2. Was there any fun fact about the Regency period that you stumbled across in your research for this book that really fired up your imagination? Any little tidbit that prompted a plot point or a cool character moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I stumbled across an article written just after the Regency that laid out the specific rules for duels, contrasting them to those of the French. Because my hero, Vaughn Everard, has a reputation as a duelist, knowing some of the rules he could choose to keep or break really helped me write the main dueling scene in the book and keep it in his character. I learned to fence when I was in college, so I really wanted to get that scene right!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>3. Does your new book, \u201cThe Rake\u2019s Redemption\u201d, continue the story of any of the characters from your last book, \u201cThe Captain\u2019s Courtship\u201d<\/a><\/em>? What did you enjoy about writing a linked story? Was there anything about that connection that made writing \u201cThe Rake\u2019s Redemption\u201d more difficult?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rake\u2019s Redemption<\/em> is the third book in the Everard Legacy miniseries, starting up shortly after The Captain\u2019s Courtship<\/em> left off. This book tells the story of how Vaughn Everard finally finds the man responsible for killing his beloved uncle, and his cousin Samantha\u2019s continued attempts to fulfill the requirements of her father\u2019s will.<\/p>\n

I love writing linked stories because they give you a bigger canvas on which to lay out an adventure. But they\u2019re also hard, because if you decide later that it would have been better for the hero of book 1 to have done something to set you up for book 3, it\u2019s too late!<\/p>\n

4. Tell me a little bit about your hero, Vaughn Everard.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vaughn is the quintessential warrior poet\u2014literally! He grew up before the Regency began, so he tends to have more of the swashbuckling attitude of the previous era\u2014lace at his cuffs, sword at his side. That puts him in direct contrast with his more elegant, refined peers. And he writes moving, romantic poetry that sets all the ladies\u2019 hearts a-flutter. Can you tell he\u2019s my personal favorite of the three Everard gentlemen?<\/p>\n

5. Tell me a little bit about your heroine, Lady Imogene Devary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lady Imogene grew up sheltered, the apple of her father\u2019s eye. But she\u2019s noticed her father behaving oddly lately, and she cannot figure out why. The problems seemed to start when a certain poet began calling, demanding a moment with her father. So Lady Imogene sets out to discover what\u2019s going on. Between her own natural charm and her father\u2019s position as the Marquess of Widmore, she\u2019d never had anyone refuse her least request. But then, she\u2019s never met anyone like Vaughn before.<\/p>\n

6. What can we look forward to next from you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next March, the final book in the Everard Legacy comes out: The Heiress\u2019s Homecoming<\/em>. That\u2019s Samantha\u2019s story, set 8 years after the other three books, where we how the legacy plays out in her life. She\u2019s only sixteen in the books out this year, so I wanted to give a little time to come into her own.<\/p>\n

7. Where else on the web can our readers find you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
