Question 1: If you could be a character in one of the author’s books that are here, which one would you be and why?I pretty much answered this for Dina before she had the chance to – because I know about the backstory of this book. So Dina first, Dina apologized for the lame answer…… she chose Kat in “Kat Fight” – yes, she is the Author of this book… the reason for her answer makes complete sense since is was based on her and her husband – check out the book description below. I have this book and can’t wait to read it!Question 2: If someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title would be? “Dina Silver is as Good as Gold” I agree!!!! or “Being Clever is her Job” Last but not least (this one seemed to stump mostly everyone): Question 3: You are invited to a large cocktail party at a country club. When you arrive, the room where the party is being held is already over half full of people. How do they react to you when you enter the room? Ok, so Dina cracks me up…… Simple answer here from Dina LOL – “applause”…. “it happens all the time” – HA!
