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!

Little Monsters By  Kara Thomas Published on July 25, 2017 Published by: Delacorte Press Source: Netgalley For fans of  Pretty Little Liars ,  Little Monsters  is a new psychological thriller, from the author of  The Darkest Corners , about appearances versus reality and the power of manipulation amongst teenage girls. Kacey is the new girl in Broken Falls. When she moved in with her father, she stepped into a brand-new life. A life with a stepbrother, a stepmother, and strangest of all, an adoring younger half sister. Kacey’s new life is eerily charming compared with the wild highs and lows of the old one she lived with her volatile mother. And everyone is so nice in Broken Falls—she’s even been welcomed into a tight new circle of friends. Bailey and Jade invite her to do everything with them. Which is why it’s so odd when they start acting distant. And when they don’t invite her to the biggest party of the year, it doesn’t exactly feel like...
