Starstruck
A few weeks ago, our own Access Romance Interview Team stumped me with one of their hard-hitting questions. No, it wasn’t that perennial favorite, “Where do you get your ideas?” It wasn’t even “Why do I always have fewer socks when I empty the dryer than I had to start with?” (I can give you than answer to that one. It’s simple. Sock goblins. They live in dryers and eat socks. It’s a fact). The question that sent me stuttering and staring off into space was, “Which of your books do you most see as a movie, and who would you cast as the characters?”
I’m awful at picking actors. My means of identification generally consists of cross-referencing other movies, as in, “You know, the woman who played the duchess in the third Hornblower– no, not the real duchess, the fake duchess.” This tends to turn into a rather circular exercise, especially when the person I’m talking to hasn’t seen the same movies.
So I appeal to those more cinematically savvy. Which of your favorite books would you like to see turned into a movie? And who would you cast?
