“Author Sherry Soule’s Dream Cast”
Today bestselling author,
Sherry Soule has some exciting news to share with us! She will be publishing a
brand new Upper YA / Sci-Fi romance series: the “Starlight Saga” with scorching-hot character chemistry, exciting suspense, and epic
romance on June 26, 2014.
To
help promote this interstellar love story, “LOST IN STARLIGHT,” Sherry is doing
this guest post to share the news with fellow booklovers.
So without further ado here are Sherry’s
top actor picks...
For my tough heroine,
Sloane Masterson, I think this lovely and brilliant actress: Lucy Hale (just imagine her with purple hair!)
would be perfect.
Tough talking,
girl reporter, Sloane is not your typical heroine. She’s a feisty,
disarming, and a fiercely independent seventeen-year-old. But she’s not flawlessly beautiful, or
super thin, or extremely intelligent like some YA protagonists. Sloane has very
real and relatable body issues and insecurities like most teen girls do. She
favors the dark-side in clothes and music, loves to watch scary movies, and
likes hanging out in graveyards. She uses her wits to cover her emotional
scars, and if you can break through her tough exterior, you’ll have a fearless,
loyal friend for life.
For the part of
the stoic and brooding, Hayden Lancaster, I think this dynamic actor would be
great, Luke Mitchell.
At first glance,
it seems that eighteen-year-old Hayden
has
a detached, unemotional exterior, but what lies beneath is a kindhearted individual
that will go out of their way to help another. Although he’s self-assured, he
does have a tendency to emotionally distance himself from those around him, and
this can make Hayden an unpredictable and confusing companion at times.
For Sloane’s best
friend, Viola Saks, this remarkable actress would be fantastic: Camilla Belle.
Outgoing and
feisty, Viola’s a fun-loving spirit girl, who loves to read. Never lacking in
optimism, Viola is frequently seen as a crusader for the rights of others and a
defender of lost causes. Popularity makes no difference to her as long as she
believes in the cause.
For Devin
Greenspan, Editor of the school paper, I like this gifted actor best: Ed
Westwick.
Devin has had a crush on Sloane for years and never gave the hope of one
day hooking up with her. But when Hayden becomes her best friend, he feels
threatened by the newcomer.
Only one actor
comes to mind that could portray Hayden’s younger brother, Zach Lancaster, and
it is actor, Paul Wesley.
Zach and
his brother grew up in a close-knit family where outside friends are
discouraged. So when Hayden becomes good friends with Sloane, Zach tries to
sabotage the friendship and strongly opposes the relationship.
For Sloane’s good
friends, Tanisha and Raymond, I like both of these talented actors: Erica Hubbard and Daniel
Andrew Sharman:
Tanisha
and Raymond are loyal friends that hang in Sloan’s crew. Tanisha dresses sort
of Goth, and she’s really into Wicca and alternative bands. Raymond is more
punk rock, and plays the role of the tortured musician to perfection.
Please mark your calendars to buy your copy of LOST IN STARLIGHT on June
26th 2014!
VOLUME ONE:
Starlight Saga
Is a star-crossed romance
worth sacrificing your own life?
High school senior Sloane Masterson lives a
quiet existence. She has awesome friends, gets excellent grades, and writes a
column for the Haven Gazette. But her life goes from dullsville to
bizarro when she witnesses mysterious loner Hayden Lancaster performing some
freaky superhuman feats.
Like any good journalist, Sloane sets out
to uncover the truth, and she’s not above stalking. But one look into Hayden’s
remarkable eyes, and she’s crushing hard.
Even at the swoon-worthy hunk’s insistence
that hanging out with girls like Sloane is “off limits” by his strange family,
she can’t resist him or wanting to solve the mystery.
Things get really complicated when a
beautiful alien sets her sights on Hayden—and this devious girl’s not
looking for a green card!
Now Sloane’s dealing with creepy government
agents, über snobby extraterrestrials, and getting a crash course on the rules
of interstellar dating. As their diverse worlds collide and the romantic sparks
fly, Sloane must decide if Hayden’s secrets are worth risking her life to
protect.
Tracy E. Banghart is a cheesy movie–loving, fantasy football–playing (go Ravens!), globe-trotting Army wife who began “practicing” her craft at the age of five, when she wrote her first story. She loves visiting the international friends she met while pursuing her MA in Publishing and spends a portion of every summer at her family’s cabin in Canada, where she finds inspiration and lots of time to relax on the dock. She lives with her husband, son, two lazy dogs and one ornery cat. When not writing or spending time with her family, she is on a mission to bake the perfect cupcake.
