Guest Post: Austentatious Movie Casting

By -
Today, we are welcoming Alyssa Goodnight- the author of Austentatious!  She is here to give us her picks for who would play the characters in her book if there was a movie!













I'm one of those bare bones writers. Basically it's just me, typing away at my keyboard, using Microsoft Word on my desktop computer, but sometimes shaking things up with my Alphasmart. Obviously I don't use special software, I don't listen to music, I don't pre-cast my books, and I don't use any peripheral charts or really any extranneous anything. Recently I've started collaging, and that's made a world of difference in keeping the story fresh in my mind, but I wasn't even doing that with AUSTENTATIOUS. So the casting came afterwards. I don't know if that makes any difference, but I just wanted to lay it out there that these faces weren't inspiring me through the writing, rewriting, and revisions. But now, they seem absolutely perfect!


 
Nicola, Main Character

(I love that Ginnifer Goodwin looks so sweet and sensible, but I also love the transformation!)




Brett Tilson, Nicola's Sensible Crush


(I could see how Nic could fall for him...he's sexy & serious!)  



Sean MacInnes, Nicola's Surprise Scottish Crush



(Those eyes...and that mischievous look! Chris Pine is a perfect Sean!)


Beck, Nicola's Sidekick
(Allison Scagliotti would make a steller Beck. She is the perfect blend of kooky and smart.)



Gabe, Nicola's Best Friend
 
  (Jake Gyllenhaal has 'boy next door' charm, and I suspect he wouldn't pull any punches.) 



Laura and Leslie, Nicola's Next Door Neighbors


                     


  Julie Bowen would shine as Laura, and Kathy Griffin would, I'm sure, feel right at home as Leslie.



So...has this casting of AUSTENTATIOUS piqued your interest for the book? I confess, I'm suddenly desperate to see it made into a movie... 



 Check out AUSTENTATIOUS by Alyssa Goodnight today!

The Child Finder By  Rene Denfeld Published: September 5th 2017 Published by: Harper Source: Purchased Three years ago, Madison Culver disappeared when her family was choosing a Christmas tree in Oregon’s Skookum National Forest. She would be eight years old now—if she has survived.

Aru Shah and the End of Time By  Roshani Chokshi Published on March 27th 2018 Published by: Disney/Rick Riordan Presents Source: Publisher Twelve-year-old Aru Shah has a tendency to stretch the truth in order to fit in at school. While her classmates are jetting off to family vacations in exotic locales, she'll be spending her autumn break at home, in the Museum of Ancient Indian Art and Culture, waiting for her mom to return from their latest archaeological trip. Is it any wonder that Aru makes up stories about being royalty, traveling to Paris, and having a chauffeur? One day, three schoolmates show up at Aru's doorstep to catch her in a lie. They don't believe her claim that the museum's Lamp of Bharata is cursed, and they dare Aru to prove it. Just a quick light, Aru thinks. Then she can get herself out of this mess and never ever fib again. But lighting the lamp has dire consequences. She unwittingly frees the Sleeper, an ancient demon whose duty it i
