Dream Cast

Trying to find people who capture the images in your head can be challenging. Sometimes there is no perfect person that encapsulates what you are thinking. And what I'm thinking might be totally different to what you're thinking. That's one of the things I love about reading - your own imagination blends with the author's and you create an entire world that's unique to you.


Okay, so I've done my best to come up with people that look similar to the characters I've created. I'd love to know your thoughts and if any of these pictures match your images of the characters.


Whenever I picture Harrison, I always see Alex Pettyfer. In fact I based Harrison's look on this actor. To me he captures Harrison perfectly with his cheeky smile and confidence.

Gemma is a very sexy, aloof character - well that's how most of the world sees her anyway. Harrison knows better :) Megan Fox carries that certain appeal. Her long dark hair and lean physique is how I imagine Gemma.

Gemma's family were hard to capture properly, but I'm pretty happy with the actors I've selected. I imagined Gemma's father this way from the beginning. The others aren't 100% right, but close enough.

Alistair Hart - Gemma's Father

Penelope Hart - Gemma's Mother

Dominic and Ruby Hart - Gemma's twin siblings


These guys were really tricky. I don't picture either of them quite this way, but they are getting close to a match.


Harrison's mother is another key character in the story. When I stumbled across Helen Hunt's picture, I knew I'd found it. I never had a crystal clear image of Harrison's mother. It was more of an impression of what she looked like. Seeing Helen Hunt made me realize I'd found her.

And last but not least - I'm really just including these guys because I have always pictured these actors playing the roles of Darren and Courtney.

 

Golden Blood

by Melissa Pearl

Gemma Hart never knows when her father is going to whisk her back in time. Her toes start tingling and she has a few minutes to find a secret haven where she can disintegrate and appear in another time and place. While “across the line,” her training and skills are put to the test as she completes a mission that will change history for the lucky few her father has selected.
Gemma's parents are adamant that secrecy is paramount to her family’s safety. If people knew what they were capable of, they could be "used and abused", as her mother always says. Afraid she might accidentally utter the truth and break the ancient oath of her people, Gemma spends her school days as a loner. Only one thing can throw her sheltered life askew... Harrison Granger.
Harrison never expected to talk to the strange Hart girl, but after a brief encounter he can't stop thinking about her. He begins a campaign to chisel away her icy veneer and is met with unexpected consequences. As he slowly wins this girl over, he enters a surreal world that has him fighting to keep his newfound love and his life.
