Thank you Maria Grace, for consenting to be my guest today. It is a great pleasure to have you here and share the ten things game about your characters with us. It is fun getting to know them better! Thank you again and welcome!
Thanks so much for hosting me
Janet! I’d love to share a ten things game passed to me by Grace Elliot. The
idea is to share ten things about a main character that readers might not
already know.
So, let’s start with 10 things
about Fitzwilliam Darcy in All the
Appearance of Goodness.
Favorite Color: The blue of the sky over Pemberley on a clear day
in spring.
Favorite Animal: His horse
Favorite Number: one, but that might be changing to two
Favorite Non-alcoholic Drink: Coffee, tea is fine, but there is
something about the bite of coffee that is particularly appealing
Facebook or Twitter? Neither really, both are rather intimidating, though he might read Facebook, he would be unlikely to post much
His Passion: Protecting those he loves
Giving or getting presents: Giving, getting gifts puts too much
attention on him and that is uncomfortable
Favorite Day: Monday morning when the structure of the work week
can start again and the chaos of the weekend subsides.
Favorite Flowers:
Honeysuckle because they remind him
of Elizabeth
Favorite Book: His father’s journals because he feels close to his
father when he reads them
Now 10 things about Elizabeth
Bennet.
Favorite Color:
Green like the leaves on Oakham Mt.
Favorite Animal: Dogs; their playful and loyal nature make them perfect companions
Favorite Number: 5, with five sisters in the family, what number could be better?
Favorite Non-alcoholic Drink:
Lemonade, the combination of sweet
and tart is so intriguing!
Facebook or Twitter? Twitter, no doubt
Her Passion: Learning and understanding the world beyond the limits
of what is proper for a gentlewoman
Giving or getting presents: She would say it was giving them, but she secretly loves to receive them.
Favorite Day: Any day she can start with a quiet ramble in the
woods.
Favorite Flowers: Roses just like her mother grows.
Favorite Book: Whatever she
is currently reading, especially if there’s someone to discuss it with her.
And finally, my favorite
original character, Vicar John Bradley.
Favorite Color: The rose and oranges of the sunrise
Favorite Animal: Cats, especially those that sit on your lap and purr
Favorite Number: Three and seven for all their spiritual significance
Favorite Non-alcoholic Drink: Tea with sugar
Facebook or Twitter? Neither, face to face conversations for him
His Passion: People and loving them without reservation
Giving or getting presents: Definitely giving
Favorite Day: Sunday mornings
Favorite Flowers: Lilies for Easter
Favorite Book: The Old Testament book of Proverbs, so much bery
practical advice there!
Thanks for joining me in getting to know my
characters just a little better.
Author bio
Though Maria Grace has been writing
fiction since she was ten years old, those early efforts happily reside in a
file drawer and are unlikely to see the light of day again, for which many are
grateful.
She has one husband, two graduate
degrees and two black belts, three sons, four undergraduate majors, five
nieces, six cats, seven Regency-era fiction projects and notes for eight more
writing projects in progress. To round out the list, she cooks for nine in
order to accommodate the growing boys and usually makes ten meals at a time so
she only cooks twice a month.

What a fun way to think about favorite characters (or any characters) in a book! Thanks for sharing those titbits of information that make characters become 'real' --
ReplyDeleteHi, Tess, thanks for stopping by. I agree that the question/answer info did make the characters seem more real. I seem to think of them as if they are anyway! :)
DeleteThat was great. The answers were very telling about their different personalities.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it fun? I loved reading those bits of info.
DeleteThanks Tess and Sophia. I really had to think about some o those answers!
ReplyDeleteI haven't come across this particular game before for characters. What a fun idea! I do love that Darcy's passion is his protecting those he loves. That is so lovely. And I love that Elizabeth's favourite colour is green, as it is also mine!
ReplyDeleteDarcy's protective behavior of those he loves is just one of the many things we 'love' about him, isn't it! I liked reading these things and the extras for some of them, like for Lizzy, the dogs and lemonade. For Darcy, the reasons for liking the journals, coffee, his favorite day and flower. All of those were neat reasons.
DeleteMaria, thank you so much for being my guest this week. I enjoyed having you and your post was awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
