Author Revealed Answer:
If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?

Posie Graeme-Evans Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. Never trust a sword to a man who can't dance Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. My grandparents. We moved around so much I didn't ever know them. I'd ask my father's father to explain what courage is. He was a war hero, but a modest man. I'd ask my mother's father how he came to survive the sinking of the Lusitania and why he taught his daughter (my mother) to dismantle an engine in 1920's London when she was a teenager. What was that about? I'd ask my father's mother to talk about physical beauty - and its loss - and what it was like to be a strong personality when women weren't supposed to be strong. And I'd want my mother's mother to tell me about my mother when she was a little girl. And that is because my mother had a remarkable life. I want to know how she was equipped to face some of the things she had to endure. Q. What’s your greatest fear? A. Loneliness. Aloneness. Q. Which living person do you most admire? A. That's a big call. I like the quiet people - the ones you find out, later, have done extraordinary things but didn't think to tell you... Q. With whom in history do you most identify? A. Elizabeth 1st of England. What a life. What a woman! Mind you, Edward IV, her grandfather, comes a close 2nd. Learn more about Posie Graeme-Evans
