A few of us had a great idea for this week's blog... we wanted to do a Thursday Thirteen entry for who we'd want to "star" as the heroes of our stories. It's amazing what a hunky bunch of menfolk we chose!

Here's the list (in no particular order):

The topic: Name your dream actor/actress to play the role of one of your characters in a wip or published work.

The results:

1. Gina Ardito would love to see Christian Bale as Kyle Hayden, the tycoon fallen on hard times (or has he?) from A Little Slice of Heaven, soon to be released from The Wild Rose Press.
2. Debora Dennis has her heart set on Josh Holloway to play the part of the ultra-sexy reclusive restauranteur Zane Maxwell in her current wip, Dinner and a Movie Star.
3. Shelby Reed sees Jude Renaud, the hero in her latest book, is a combination of Australian actor Daniel Goddard and someone she's never seen.
4. Zee would like Damian Lewis to portray Zeke, medic in Vietnam on leave between tours, who hops in a taxi with his destiny.
5. Sandra Cormier pictures William Petersen playing the part of David in her novel, The Space Between (The Wild Rose Press). A mature fellow with some sexy vibes.
6. Leslie Ann Dennis would love to see Chris Evans play Conlan MacGregor, the hero from her Scottish book, Reason to Believe (from The Wild Rose Press)
7. Katie Anderson would love to have Viggo Mortensen play Caleb Stone in her WIP, Bad Wind Blows.
8. Ellie Heller would love to see Jason Isaacs as Niccolo Machiavelli Hynson, the former secret ops man who grows to embrace his Elf heritage and accept the leadership role he finds himself in.
9. Ali picks Jake Gylenhaal as her ghost, Josh, in Melanie.
10. Sadie Cole would like Jared Leto to play her hero, Alexander in First Kiss.
11. Paisley Scott would like Chad Michael Murray to play Spencer, her latest hottie hero.
12. Even tho Zara Penny didn't have a chance to answer this, I'm assuming she'd choose George Clooney for any of her heroes.
13. Hunter Cole isn't as excited about the look of the hero in his WIP, but shrugs and claims he wouldn't turn down Colin Farrell if he begged him to be in the movie, like a big cry-baby.

Who would YOU choose... if your story went to Hollywood?

LOL! I would have taken Clooney, Penny, but he didn't work for this character.

Glad you got him though!

And here I thought Hunter would be clamoring for Kate Beckinsale. Colin Farrell, eh? Gee... who knew?

Oh the predictability of my desires...

I just honestly couldn't think of anyone for my current WIP which is a very very very confused and arrogant Regency buck...

It isn't Colin Firth

It could be Clooney if he asked me... I'd probably say yes to anything he asked me.

LOL
