“Author Sherry Soule’s DREAM
CAST”
Okay, today ‘s post is provided by author
Sherry Soule, who is celebrating the release of the second novel in the YA
Spellbound series, MOONLIGHT MAYHEM—due to be published July 2012. This would be her dream cast of actors if her
books were ever made into a movie or a TV series. (She’d prefer the latter.) So
without further ado here are Sherry’s top actor picks...
My kickbutt
heroine, Shiloh Ravenwolf is a tough one. For me it is between these lovely and
brilliant actresses: Chloe Bridges and Rachel Bilson and Malese Jow. (I couldn’t
find many Native American actresses in my Google search that would fit my
description of Shiloh, who is half-French and half-Sioux.)
Quirky, SHILOH
(who never leaves the house without her fav hot pink Doc Martens) has a habit
of engaging her brain before her mouth. She has seen shadows for as long
as she can remember, and they always turn up when something bad is about to
happen. Shiloh was born with an unusual mix of Native American Sioux and
French Wiccan ancestry. When Shiloh meets the new town hottie, Trent Donovan,
she realizes he might be next on the supernatural hit list. Shiloh decides it’s
her duty to find out what is causing the mystical disappearances in
Whispering Pines before the evil claims another innocent life. Yet even
as a witch-in-training, is Shiloh worthy to combat the forces of darkness? Or
is she just another teen destined to befall the town curse?
For the part of
the arrogant, playboy, Trent Donovan, I think these dynamic actors would be
great: Christopher Chace Crawford or Alex Pettyfer:
After seventeen
years, TRENT and his father return to Whispering Pines and are instantly
under speculation. Especially when construction on their mansion awakens an
ancient evil, and the vanishing of a local teen has everyone murmuring about an
old witch’s curse. When Trent meets Shiloh—sparks fly. Shiloh and Trent
have an almost instant connection. As their friendship changes from mutual
lust to real affection, they achieve an emotional closeness rarely found. He
finds Shiloh’s willful determination a challenge, but he still has a hard time
expressing his feelings. Will Trent be able to survive the
Whispering Pine curse in time to tell Shiloh how he feels?
For Shiloh’s
mother, Jillian Ravenwolf –Broussard, I like this amazing actress: Kelly Lee
Carlson (she would be so freakin’ perfect).
Shiloh’s mother, JILLIAN
BROUSSARD is an incredibly beautiful yet cryptic woman. She has never
really been the “motherly” type. When she starts dabbling in Dark Magicks, she
slips further away from her family. Jillian has been embracing darkness, and
straying from the path of Wicca. Will the cost of her driving ambition come
at a deadly price?
For Jackson
Ravenwolf (Shiloh’s father) this wonderful actor might be great: Oded Fehr.
JACKSON RAVENWOLF is Shiloh’s father, and he only wants peace
within his troubled family. He is a kind-hearted man who tends to be swept up
in Shiloh’s drama. He does not believe in the supernatural. Not in ghosts or
hauntings or mysterious happenings as well as psychic abilities. He thinks the
rumors about witches are ridiculous. Still he’s worried that Shiloh will
discover his secret. Will he finally find the courage to tell Shiloh the
truth about her heritage?
For Shiloh’s
sassy best friend, Ariana Parsons, this remarkable actress would be great:
Tiffany Thornton.
Smart and feisty,
ARIANA PRESTON is Shiloh’s best friend. Her outgoing nature, along with her
snarky and blunt personality are Ariana’s most endearing qualities. Upon
learning that Shiloh is actually a powerful thirteenth witch, she dedicates
herself to aiding her friend in the battle against evil. But after playing
around with the occult, Ariana develops a taste for the dark arts. Will
her interest in the Craft only cause more havoc and mayhem in a town that is
already cursed by dark magick?
For Anthony
Evans, Shiloh’s mentor and friend, I like these gifted actors best: Josh Lucas
or Patrick Wilson.
ANTHONY EVANS is a Victorian restoration specialist and
part-time paranormal investigator that grew up in Castro Valley, California,
and gifted with Sight. After the death of his wife, he moves in with his
brother-in-law, Maxwell Donovan and his nephew, Trent to help cleanse their
haunted house. After hiring Shiloh as an assistant, he decides that it’s his
duty to educate Shiloh in all things supernatural. But will teaching her
magick be enough to stop the evil from killing the other teenagers in
town?
For Shiloh’s
brave and loving aunt Lauren, I like these outstanding actresses, Gwyneth
Paltrow or Charilze Theron:
LAUREN BROUSSARD wants to help Shiloh deal with her newfound
powers. Although, continuous, heated disagreements with her sister, Jillian
about Shiloh’s upbringing resulted in her being estranged from the family. But
what can Lauren say when Shiloh starts asking questions about the Broussard
family’s dark past?
Only one actor
comes to mind that could portray the dashing and ruthless, Maxwell Donavon –
Australian actor and former fashion model, Julian Dana William McMahon:
Millionaire,
yuppie, MAXWELL DONOVAN finally appears in MOONLIGHT MAYHEM. He shares
his son Trent’s intensity, articulacy, and conviction. Maxwell was married to
Claire and stole not only her heart, but her sanity as well. Rumors abound
after he is accused of murdering his wife. Is he really a heartless killer
or is there more to this enigmatic man?
For the bratty Trendies,
Ashley and Kayla, I like these young, talented actresses: Victoria Justice
for Ashley and Amanda Bynes for Kayla:
ASHLEY WITHERIDGE is the mayor’s daughter. She is the Queen Bee
at Whispering Pines High. Always calm and poised, and perfectly coiffed. She is
Shiloh’s best frenemy. Ashley is very loyal to her friends while still being
independent. When an unstoppable beast invades the town, will Ashley put
aside her differences to join forces with Shiloh?
KAYLA BISHOP is Ashley’s best friend and captain of the
cheerleading squad. At times, she can be spontaneous or cautious—whatever the
situation calls for. She’s tougher than she looks, but can a bit of an airhead.
Will Kayla surprise herself with her own insightful contributions to the
fight against evil?
For the Ramírez family,
I like these three talented actors: Michael Trevino as Daniel, Famke Janssen as
Regina, and Demián Bichir as Javier.
Okay, so there you have it, Sherry’s fav actor
picks. If you’ve read Beautifully Broken or Moonlight Mayhem, what actors would
