October 1998

I got to meet REG a few months ago at a literature Festival in Cheltenham, UK (promoting BY DESIGN).

He gave a Q&A session for a sold out audience of hundreds of people. This was followed later by a book signing session. He was a great laugh and very witty and articulate.

My girlfriend and I got to speak to him on two occasions throughout the day and he made an effort to actually talk to people which is so cool. He even remembered me by name when I asked him to sign my book and pose for a photo later on in the day!!

He recently talked about how he’s negotiating to direct a movie based around his life in Swaziland, plus he’s had several offers to make BY DESIGN into a movie. He’s also mentioned having a couple of other major movie projects on the agenda (as well as another book), but we’ll have to wait and see!

Cheers!
