"Everyone hates me but the horse."

 I've mentioned my actors a lot, but I never given them justice. What they did to help me, it still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 
 I don't even remember how it happened. I think I said something about needing help making a trailer, and the next thing I knew we were up in the mountains, they dressing up in my costumes which were too small for most of them. So here I am, wanting to give them the credit they deserve. 
 First off, my costume things, most of it is girl stuff. Jackets, scarfs, gloves. And for the boys, it was all too small. But they bravely donned it, laughing when their wrists stuck out past the sleeves. They didn't even complain when they had to throw on jackets and coats and boots and hats even though it was hot the days we filmed. (We caught some of the hottest days this summer. And there weren't many.)
 Also, they gave up a Saturday for me. Now, not many people give up their Saturdays, especially to put on a girl's clothing and stand in front of a camera, hoping no one drove by and saw them. They deserve an award for this alone. 
 There is one though who I think deserves a medal. Here is how it happened...
 Kirk. All of you know Kirk, right? The kilt wearing Scot? Okay, well, during our first filming I began to think how nice it would be to have Kirk in the trailer. It would help with some things. But there was the kilt. I didn't think any of the boys would willingly put on a kilt. However, on learning of Kirk, one of the girls dared one of the boys into wearing the kilt. (The boy who plays Peter.) He agreed to it, because she dared him.  Problem one, none of us owned a kilt.
 By the time the second filming rolled around I knew I was pretty much done for. I had a plan...rather a skirt. A plaid skirt which looks kind of like a kilt.  Problem two, the skirt was mine and I'm a small person. The boy who plays Peter, there was no way he could get into it. Problem three, would ANY of the boys willingly put on my skirt?
 When I met them at the site I presented my problem and said something like, "We don't need Kirk. It would be easier with him, but if none of you wants to do this it is okay." To my surprise, one of them was brave enough. Yes, that's right. He wore my skirt, and did his best to hold his head high with manly, Scottish pride. Kirk would be proud.  And there it is, the story behind the...lack of the kilt. Before we film again, I am planning on buying a kilt. 
 Anyways, this trailer wouldn't be possible without my amazing actors. And without William Knisley who has a knack for directing. I owe them a huge thanks.
 Also, I've no clue who Donny Osmond is, but when I showed the actors the bloopers their parents almost had a heart attack. But, I did my research. The CD says he sings the song, so...that's why his name is on there. Just, don't go having heart attacks on me.
 I've more behind-the-scene stories...like the filming we did in the trees of certain someones not being able to walk...if you want to hear them, feel free to ask. 
 Lastly, I was short on actors so a lot of them had to double up. Or take on different roles. (We used what we had.)
 I hope you enjoy! Cover pictures, and author pictures, hopefully coming soon!

 More Percy Jackson book quotes. I'm going to keep it up till I have the new book, so get used to it.
 Allons-y!
