Dreamcasting – The Touch

As you know, I always have someone in mind when creating new characters for my books. Maybe it's cheating a little, but it definitely helps me flesh them out in my mind. And of course, if they ever made a movie or tv series out of the story, I could help steer them in the right direction. ;) So, in the spirit of that happy thought, here is my dream casting for who would play everybody in The Touch.


Lexi Morgan – A dark haired Anna Paquin. I think she could capture Lexi's quirkiness, as well as gumption and loyalty to her family and friends.

Detective Gabriel Ryan – Timothy Olyphant. He's Olyphantastic, need I say more? Where else can I find a cop with easy charm that's capable of intensity and humor at the same time?

Allison Travers- Jennifer Connely. She can look so sweet and girl next door, you'd never ever suspect her of having her own secrets.

Chloe Travers – Chloe Moretz. Love, love, love this girl. She is such a fantastic actress, I could easily picture her dealing with all of the ghosts.

Detective Tim Cooper – Jacob Pitts. Go watch Eurotrip, and then go watch an episode of Justified. 'nuff said.

Maddie Parker – Kristen Bell – because I love Kristen Bell and I like to incorporate her whenever I can. I have no idea why I've never made her the heroine to any of my books yet. Also Ryan Reynolds. Love me some Ryan Reynolds, how have I not paired these two up yet? But I digress…

Paul Spencer – Paul Wesley – He plays the nice, safe guy so well!

Neil Travers – Okay so he doesn't play much of a role in this one, but in my head I had Tom Jane as 'the tool'.

Sophia – Monica Bellucci. She's so beautiful, but I could see her slowly unraveling and spinning into madness quite nicely

Bianca – I don't know, I can never see her face!

Jack (Sophia's husband) – Matthew Fox. Every time I hear the name Jack, I think of him. It's as easy as that. Plus, wouldn't he look great in a period military uniform?


That's pretty much everybody I had a specific person in mind for while I was writing. What about you guys? Who did you see when you were reading the book?
