Mod

Great idea, I agree totally with that :)

Definitely doing this - and THANKS for the enthusiasm. So, any more questions? thoughts? etc? What storyline would you be interested in knowing more about so far?
Mod

I'm interested in knowing why you can't pick between Ayden and Zane now ;)

Hmmmm...good question. I've always been a die hard Aydan fan. In fact, I lovingly refer to Aydan as my muse, and in many ways he is. But working on Libera Me brought a whole new dimension to the storyline as both Aydan and Zane work to help Nessa regain her lost memories and figure out who she is. They both go through their own struggles as they discover that she may not be Nesy at all...and what that may mean for them both. This book allowed me to see other sides of all the characters and I want both Aydan and Zane to get what they want, knowing they can't.
It's a sad story, really...with several twists that will hopefully keep readers both interested and on the edge of their seat

So....anymore questions? I'm so excited to be here answering them...you guys are fab!
If you were approached for a movie deal, would you accept? And who do you think is best to play the characters?
Nickle wrote: "If you were approached for a movie deal, would you accept? And who do you think is best to play the characters?"Ha! I LOVE this question because I have always, since the very first draft, "seen" this series as a movie. But I guess many authors feel that way about their books.
In terms of a movie deal, it would completely depend on the deal. I would want some input into the story as I would want the "essence" of the storyline to stay the same, you know?!? So, yea, I guess it would depend.
In terms of who could play the different roles, I would prefer to hear who YOU think could play...
So, who would YOU cast as Aydan and Nesy? Zane? even Azza and Mikayel???
Mod
Ha! I LOVE this question because I have always, since the very first..."
Ok you are going to have to let me think about this for a while and get back to you so many yummy actors out there LOL

I totally get that!
Mod

Oh gosh...hmm..I have to say that for Mikayel, Misha Collins from Supernatural comes to mind, although it's probably b/c he already plays an angel. I just love the way he plays that character.And I can totally see Tom Hiddleston for Azza. Still not sure about Aydan and Nesy.
Mod

I would have though Jensen Ackles for Mikayel he's more bad ass than Misha LOL he's more goofy ... still thinking about he rest LOL
Mod
Ha! I LOVE thi..."
Yeah, I like Jensen, but he has too much emotion. Misha is perfect for the angel with no emotion thing. And he can switch it off. He is kind of goofy on the show, but I find that endearing for some reason! LOL!
Mod
Lol yeah he's a hoot I really like Misha and him as Castiel is too funny :)
Can I just tell you guys I get giddy even THINKING about people to play these characters. LOL!
@Christine when I was reading Lacrimosa, just after a few pages, I already saw the movie in my head. Although I didn't have any particular actor in mind. They were faceless actors. LOL.I love Misha and Jensen, and either would definitely be great for the role, but aren't they old to play as Aydan? Isn't he a teenager in his mortal body? Even Azza, right?
Still thinking about my dream cast. :3
Mod
I love Mis..."
I don't think we're ever told of Azza's age, or Mikayl, that I can remember. I haven't made a pick for Aydan yet, not sure who I would really want in that role, although I do have some ideas. This is gonna sound a bit wacky, but if you ever watch the show Big Time Rush on Nickelodean, I would perhaps pick James Maslow for Aydan...he's got that look.
Mod
He is so funny. Last night he was watching porn! LOL! I alsmot fell off the couch. Then he kissed Meg and they were like, what was that? And I forget his response but it was hilarious!
Technically speaking, Mikayel and Azza are more than three thousand years old, and Aydan and Nesy are 600+. But, in human form, Nesy and Aydan are teens - 17 years old. Azza appears as a teen in both Dies Irae and Lacrimosa. Mikayel appears as a teen in Dies Irae, and an angel in Lacrimosa. Zane and Cass always appear in angelic form until Libera Me...Ooops...did I give something away ;)
Mod
LOL! Oops!
I was talking about their physical forms. I remember in Dies Irae they are teens. I didn't remember what Azza appeared as in Lacrimosa, but now I remember. Gosh, now I have to rethink things...crud!
Mod
LMAO I loved that episode he is such a hoot ...

But it has to be REALLY great actors so they can play hundreds/thousand-year-old angel.
Mikayel could be played by an older actor and then when Azza tells Nesy about his and Mikayel's past they can show flashbacks [scenes from Dies Irae] of human teen Mikayel played by a newbie actor or something.
I still can't decide who to cast! It doesn't help that I'm not THAT familiar with 20-something actors that could pass as teens these days.
Mod
Yeah, my young actor knowledge sucks, LOL! I'm too old to know the young actors.
Love that idea with the flashbacks, etc...now...to get Hollywood to notice. LOL!!!I've been working on edits for
and I am so excited for you guys to read it. I am giving away some special things as part of the virtual launch party and following tour. Including, Aydan's journal. EEP!

No worries Brooke; I already have you on my list
Okay - so a little dish re
...there is a new, deliciously snarky character. Wonder what's going to happen with him....Hmmmm..... And yes, I "may" answer a few questions about him.There are also a couple of new "human" characters we get to meet. So fun..these new additions...
Mod
EEP!!!!

Snarky may not be the right word...he is angelic, but not as "good" as one would expect. He works closely with Zane. And yes, he befriends Aydan.
Mod
Ooo...but I liked snarky!!!!
Ahh....I think I know who this is...he is a bit snarky, actually, I am under that impression!

OH GOSH!!! How does one even go here and choose? I think this is a terrific idea. Do the readers get an "inside scoop" of each story first? I would be willing to sacrifice myself to help you with that! LOL!
