Faerie Prince blog tour

I'm excited to have Rachel Morgan here today as part of her Faerie Prince blog tour. She's going to talk about her Creepy Hollow series and her idea of a real-life movie cast for her characters. As writers, we usually have a pretty good image of our characters formed in our mind. Trying to match that idea to a real-life person isn't always easy, but it's fun when we finally do find a good match. 

Do you have a celebrity you think would be a good fit for one of your characters in your book?

Creepy Hollow Fictional Movie Cast

I think it's a given that every author has, at some point or another, dreamed about their book being made into a movie/TV series.Which, of course, leads to them imagining who the lucky actors and actresses might be who get to play their characters.

I've always had a hard time imagining real-life people as my characters. They're kind of unique in my head. But I decided to do some searching online (thanks Google and IMDB) and YES, I managed to find some awesome actors and actresses who would suit the roles for Vi, Ryn, Nate and Tora (the four characters who probably have the most "screen" time so far in the series).

So ... here they are!







To read more about the characters that inspired this fictional movie cast, get yourself a copy of the newly released YA paranormal fantasy The Faerie Prince, second novel in the Creepy Hollow series. You can find it at the following online retailers (and if you haven't yet read the first book, The Faerie Guardian, you can find out where to get it on this page):

After completing a degree in genetics, she decided science wasn’t for her—after all, they didn’t approve of made-up facts. These days she spends much of her time immersed in fantasy land once more, writing fiction for young adults.

  2. At least you were able to select actors - not sure I could do it for my books.
    Congratulations, Rachel!

  4. This was a fun entry :) I can definitely agree with your choices of actors, and yet now I think I have a crush on Ryn :D (I admit I haven't read enough of the series to know if this becomes socially acceptable at any point or not :P )

  6. Ohhh I like this concept, and I love the choices! I'm not sure who I would chose for the roles in my novel because most of my favorite actors and actresses are too old for the parts. Though I WOULD do my best to sneak Liam Neeson in there somewhere. Love him to bits!!!

    1. I know what you mean. There were a number of other actors and actresses I thought of first, but they're too old!

  7. Alex: I've tried but can't seem to find the right match.

    Michelle: I'd like to go see this movie!

    Trisha: I think I have the same problem. (;

    Pat: Me too! Hahah.

    Randi: Liam Neeson? Yes, Please! (;

  11. Hi Elise and Rachel,

    I can relate to a bit of fantasy. Yes and that sort of fantasy, also. Faerie Prince, cool stuff. I like the magical world of fairies, or faeries. Very good of you to share this awareness of Rachel's book through this here tour. What the elf, being such a good dude, I shall share your posting. Yay me:)

    A magical, enchanting weekend to you.

    Gary :)

  12. Ah, good choices for the actors. Victoria Justice is really cool!

    1. I didn't actually know Victoria Justice before I went searching for a fictional cast ... In fact, on this list I only knew William Moseley!

  13. grats on your find, rachel :)

    ...all the young 'celebs' i find are too shallow, as individuals, to be my characters - as actors, dunno - older ones, and those dead, would be ideal - seems i must write my characters as 40+ years old... which is cool, for me... makes ya beyond my ken ;)

  14. I love those pictures...I only know one of those actors, Victoria, but based on her, I would say it's a great cast. ^_^

    This is definitely my kind of book! It's currently number 3 on my reading list.

    1. Oh yay! I hope it gets to number 1 on your reading list ;-)

  16. I've entered and downloaded, as to the actors - unfortunately I must be really behind the times as I don't know any of these young actors. They do look pretty amazing though.

  17. Hi Elise and Rachel .. sounds like there's an enormous resource of material banked up inside that clever brain of yours Rachel - and love that you know who you'd like to play your cast of characters ..

    Good luck with the Faerie Prince fiction series .. cheers Hilary

  18. Good-looking cast! I don't know who would play my leads; I always figure when (if) the time comes, I'll know 'em when I see 'em.

  21. It IS difficult to find actors / models that look like one's characters. That's a good-looking cast! :)

  24. Some people are just so beautiful. Sigh. I wonder what it's like to be one of the beautiful people (actors, actresses). That's a great cast Rachel.
