What do you all think? And a Contest too!
Based on the reviews, I know a bunch of you all really like Flynn. I’m curious to see who you would cast for Flynn if this book were a movie.
To entice you, for those that post their picture of their likeness of Flynn or any of the boys (including Luke, Paul, Sebastian), I will randomly select a winner for an ARC of the Flynn & Luke short story and an ARC of Waiting for Mercy before either is published.
You can post here on Goodreads, my Facebook page or through my Website.
I’ll leave this contest open until the end of January. I’m looking forward to see what you all think!

Perfection is not required. Just an image of someone you think has the look of how you see any or all of the guys in the book. Have fun with it. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. So far, the choices have been great!

I already posted pictures, but I saw this one and thought about Luke. *swoon*
This guy could be Flynn (thanks Nic)
Okay I have several pictures of each of the guys because I just can't decide >.<Lets start with the best character of the book:
FLYNN!!!
Luke:
Paul:
And finally Sebby I could only find one that kind of looked like him:
Terri I just love your last choices for Flynn and Luke! Perfect! With this contest and all your ideas I want to re-read Beg For Mercy. Right now I can't with all the books I have to read and review but as soon as I have some time I'll re-read for sure.
Okay so I tried to hurry...So this first picture is my absolute perfect match for me for Flynn. I only have to one photo for him. Unfortunately, I do not know his name, he is a model for the hairstyle and that's about all I got researching. Another unfortunate case is there was no other picture with him facing forward, but I can just imagine the rest!
This is my first pick.
If this photo can't be accepted because we can't see his face fully, then I would have to go for Zac Efron instead...Zac was the only other person I found and like that seemed to pull off the hairstyle too. Though the guy above seems to have that sense of ruggedness about him, while Zac to me is a bit too good boyish. Ya know? So I definitely would prefer the guy above.
Zac Efron.
As for Luke...Terri you had the same mind as me for him! Haha. Charlie Hunnam is his name and he isn't the exact way I picture Luke...BUT damn good enough! And though I think his hair could be a little more wavy we could work with that. Some other guys that I was looking at often were Mitch Hewer, Alex Pettyfer, and it seemed a lot of miscellaneous blond models. Haha. Charlie was my favorite though! Below are some of my favorite pics of him that I think would work...
Charlie Hunnam.
Onto Paul...he was taking me a while. My first pick for him was Jensen Ackles. He is super good looking, but then I felt that he might be too old for the look...While the other choice I was also leaning towards was Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He looks darn good too and seems younger. Though it still doesn't feel like the right fit exactly and I think I like Jensen more. I still am in a bit of a debate. So I'm putting up pics of both guys. Though I think Jensen is my first pick!
Jensen Ackles.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Lastly, Sebastian. As like every other boy, I have a folder full of picture for the ones who could be him. My heart was set on one guy in particular after seeing just the perfect photo. Ed Westwick. He has the devious and delicious face. And though we all know him as Chuck, I think he would make a killer Sebastian. I mean come on, just look at him!
Ed Westwick.
Oh and just for fun...James Franco threw me for a ringer for a minute or two. So I thought I'd throw in the pictures of him that I liked. BUT as soon as I looked back in my folder at Ed's pics, it was a no brainer for me. Haha.
James Franco.
(Bolded my first picks.) Hopefully someone else enjoys these too!
Paige I completely agree with you on the Flynn. I can't even seem to find a picture that looks like him but that side profile is exactly what I think of!! Good choice!
Alright, here are my guy choices:My Flynn: Gael Garcia Bernal
My Luke: Chace Crawford
My Sebastian: James Franco
My Paul: Hayden Christensen
My David: Eric Dane
Enjoy the eye-candy ladies! :)) I sure did!!

Thanks!
Paige - I so did not know that was the same guy in each picture. But I think each picture suits each guy, lol!
All the choices are really great.
Those are great pics!! Enjoying the mandy :D LOVE ITThis is a great contest and a fabulous idea - BRAVO Shannon!!
Interview is great! And that extra is so good -- I love these characters so much!!

I love the interview! It's crazy how I miss the characters already. And the excerpt? How can we wait now?
Guess I never did post my picsMy Luke - Alex Pettyfer
Flynn - Rick Malambri

The competition is fierce, but maybe I'll win this one. Today's the last day!!!! YAY!
hehehehehe NO! I WANNA WIN hahahaha but....... if I don't, my votes still go to Terri :)
oh wait... ok, so I e-mailed ms. dermott and asked her if she would do a character interview with ONE of the guys from the Mercy series... AND SHE SAID YES!!! soooo, I've decided to include you guys (& yes I will give you credit).... Does anyone have any questions you just have to ask... I have not decided which guy I want to ask these questions to yet, BUT I am team Flynn, however, I am willing to chose one of the other guys... so let me know if you guys wanna be included in the questions-AND which guy you chose to ask- and I will be sending the set of questions to Ms. Dermott by next week so she has plenty of time to get it done before the release :)
I would love to hear about the first time Flynn fed off of someone!
I love Luke more than Flynn. I know Flynn is hot, but darn it Luke is so sweet. I want to know what Luke would do if he doesn't already know that (view spoiler)

oooohhhhhh... ok, so I will definately add this one to my Flynn list... I think which ever GUY has MORE questions, is the guy I will pick :)
Ok, I got both Heather & Terri in my pile... maybe she'll let me ask all the guys a few questions hahahahaha I have so many questions I wanna ask all of them!

hehehehehe I feel EXACTLY the same way... I was team Luke til almost the end... then I was getting to know Flynn and Luke is hiding something... :) but I love them ALL
you should ask Shannon if she is willing to do a group interview???I just did one that I will be posting soon and we set it up like we are all sitting in the room together for the interview. It was really fun!!!
The author and I just kept a running word document that I started and then mailed to her with a question, then she sent it back to me with an answer , then I sent it back...so, we literally were bantering back and forth.
ooooooooooh I will e-mail her right now to ask :)

I'm so glad some people are really interested in these questions :) hehehehehe I can't wait to send them all to her :)
It will be awesome! A group interview would be even better! I need to calm down on exclamation points. Flynn, Sebastian, Luke and Paul. I would love to "hear" from them. It's getting more and more difficult to wait WFM.
no no, excalmation points are excellent :)
I think I would ask Luke if he knows why his dad seems to dislike Mercy so much? Or why he waited so long to tell Mercy what he was (I think he eventually told her, I read it a while ago and I can't remember for sure!)
Maybe ask Flynn if he feels bad for liking Mercy b/c she was with his bf?
I'd want to ask Sebastian something too b/c he seems like the most secretive one to me but I can't think of anything right now. I'm going to think some more!
I will be posting the winner in the next few days!!! =)
Yay!!! This was an awesome contest Shannon!
Yay! I had fun with this fictional casting. Thank you Shannon!
I'm soooo excited!!!! Ms Dermott has okayed for us to do a group interview, so if you have any questions for any of the guys, you should let me know soon as I will be sending ALL questions on Friday... And I do have all of the above already written down with your names to give you credit for the questions :) Spread the word, and if you need anything you can PM me or email me at magluvsya03@yahoo.com :) I will be doing a blog release party with everything when WFM is releasing!!
I want to know why the guys all think they are the best for Mercy - I have my ideas and thoughts for each but I wonder what they have to say about it
oooh Jennifer, that is a good one!!
thanks! i always want to know the "why" with my favorite characters... :D I don't like being confused or not understanding
Ohhhhh I do like this one lots :) its going on the list! Thank you!!!
I was wondering what Flynn felt when he kissed Mercy to feed off her that one time in the lake house... :)
IKR? :)) I just want to hear him say what it felt like :)
