Behind The Scenes

The other day I was hanging out with some writer friends, and we thought it would be fun to pick out the perfect cast for our books. I had so much fun thinking of the right people for the different roles that I thought I would share them with you.

Jordan Andrews – Tatiana Maslany

Nevertheless, experts have estimated that erectile dysfunction affects 30 million men in the Untied cialis tablet States.While erectile dysfunction can occur at any time and for any man. canadian cialis mastercard To help such people some of very effective ED medicines like Kamagra to stay healthy.

If you haven’t heard of Orphan Black, you need to investigate how you can watch it, stat. Tatiana Maslany plays a young woman who discovers she is a clone. She not only plays the main character, Sarah, but she also plays all of the clones. When you watch the show, you will lose your mind at the talent this woman possesses. I know, she doesn’t have the auburn hair but I think she could play Jordan flawlessly.

Owen Neilson – Jesse Spencer

You might remember this gentleman from a little show called, House M.D. and more recently, Chicago Fire. Not only does he look like Owen, but he’s a versatile actor who would absolutely nail both the serious and goofy side of the character. Also, bonus points: he happens to be a musician.

Madison Neilson – Bella Thorne

While I wanted to pick someone who was beautiful and could pull off the lovely bubbly essence that makes her who she is, I also wanted to pick someone incredibly smart. I think Bella Thorne is a great match for both sides of Maddie’s personality.

Parker Andrews – Dane DeHaan

I mainly chose Dane DeHaan based off of pictures I found. I like the way he’s able to pull off so many different looks, especially like the one above. He’s got a boy next door quality  mixed with an undertone of darkness, which is absolutely perfect for Parker.

Sheriff Tully – Bob Odenkirk

Most of you might know Bob Odenkirk from his work on Breaking Bad, and his upcoming series, Better Call Saul. I think he’s got a father figure kind of look about him that would work really well for Eve’s Return, and subsequently, No Escape.

Dinah – Tilda Swinton

I’m a huge fan of Tilda Swinton and I think she is a perfect fit for Dinah. Without getting too deep into the reasons why, I’m hoping those of you who have read the book know what I mean.

 Levi – Colin O’Donoghue

Out of all my characters, Levi was the most difficult to cast. Why? Well, everyone who reads the book will have their own interpretation of what he looks like. In fact, I actually don’t think Colin O’Donoghue looks exactly like my vision of the character. However, having seen him play Hook on Once Upon a Time, leads me to believe that he would bring all the right bits that make Levi who he is to the screen.

What do you think? Do you agree with my picks or would you have chosen a completely different cast?

Many of you wonderful readers have been asking where I came up with the idea for The Book of Eve Series.

For seven years I worked on an epic fantasy trilogy that was extremely complex and difficult to manage. It amuses me when I looking back on that period of time. I thought writing a fantasy set in a world I created was going to be easy.

Writing lesson number 1: world building is one hell of a difficult skill to master.

I decided to set that series aside and try my hand at writing something on a smaller scale.

I’m not really sure what I meant by that since I’m now working on the second novel in a 5 book series.

When I started brainstorming ideas, vampires and werewolves were all anyone seemed to write about.  While I do love a good vampire/werewolf saga, I wanted to write something different.

I came up with an idea around angels and demons. What if an Angel lost his wings, and was sent to earth, I thought. He learns the value of doing good deeds, and falls in love with a woman he can never have and…

Sound familiar? That’s because it’s been done several thousand times before. I scrapped the idea and continued to brainstorm.

Writing lesson number 2: don’t be afraid to move on to the next idea if the initial one isn’t working out for you.

While I was doing some research on angels, I came across an article that referred to Lilith.  My initial reaction was to move onto the next bit of information, but I decided to read on.

In some circles, people believe that Lilith is the Queen of Demons. She is sometimes considered to be the mother of vampires, or often appears as a succubus.

She is also Adam’s first wife. You know the one. She wanted to spice up her sex life by trying out a new position. Adam…well, he liked things the way they were. Lilith ended up running away and making a strange deal with three angels, that allowed her to eat babies who were less than a certain number of days old.

It’s a little messed up, yes, I know, but it got me thinking. Over thousands of centuries, both Lilith and Eve have been treated rather poorly. In fact, some sources treat them as one interchangeable person.

In most cases though: Lilith is a wanton woman, who refuses to obey her husband and curses herself. Eve is responsible for the First Sin.

My first ‘what if’ question hit me. What if a woman was given the chance to right a wrong committed thousands of centuries ago?  Followed by… well, if I tell you any more, I’ll ruin the story. I’ll have to end here for now.

Writing lesson number 3: find your Thought Kernel, your ‘what if’ question, your Novel Idea. Revel in how awesome it feels. Release it onto the page.

There’s something I love about a male protagonist who rides a fine line between being classified as one of the good guys, or one of the bad. It also doesn’t hurt that he can typically pull off a smirk that ends up on the right side of charming.

For those of you who have read, Eve’s Return, Levi is my vision of this type of character. Many of you have crossed your fingers, hoping he makes an appearance in book two.

 SPOILER ALERT: He does. In a big way.

In celebration, I would like to share a list of my favourite male movie/TV characters that know how to smirk like a pro.

Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark (Harrison Ford)

The first time I saw Indiana Jones I fell head over heels in love with Harrison Ford. That being said, the movie had already been out for over ten years, so I was shocked to discover how old he was, “in real life”.

I loved him anyway.

His smart mouth, knack for finding adventure, and trademark half smirk puts Indiana on the top of my list.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds – Firefly (Nathan Fillion)

But one should know about it in advance, so as to avoid any sort of anxiety. cheapest cialis browse for info The idea is totally wrong, after the patent rights of the cheap cialis tadalafil got expired, many other manufacturers came up with its generic equivalent which were available at lower price.

European whole body cleansing with the restoration of the anatomy and physiology of the body, a safe viagra generika 100mg reincorporation into the normal activity of the athlete and to decrease the cause of dysfunction.
I arrived rather late to the Firefly party. Now, I can’t watch certain episodes because it makes me sad that such a great show ended much too soon.

Our Captain Reynolds is a man who ended up on the losing side of a war, and now, in present times, makes a living primarily through transporting goods (legally and illegally).

He’s a cowboy in space who isn’t afraid to shoot a man to make a point, loves his people, and smirks like a champ.

Peter Quill – Guardians of the Galaxy (Chris Pratt)

This is a recent addition to my list, seeing as the movie just came out. While the plot could have used a bit of tweaking, I thoroughly enjoyed each character and the actors who played/voiced them.

For the time being, I’m going to focus on Peter Quill. He’s is a criminal who calls himself, Star Lord. He’s got a heart of gold, a bit of an ego, and a smirk that could melt the hardest of hearts.
