Cursed by the All Star Cast

Tour Stop: Feb 5th Interview from the blissful blog of Susanne mathews 
Sophia can feel the magic in the air when her strapping Irish boyfriend proposes or is that just the ring—made from the very sapphire that cursed her. Sometimes love is a dangerous thing.


While writing Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire, I often got asked about a certain burning question; that question being “Who would you include in the all-star cast if your work was in fact made into a movie?” Most people think it’s an extremely fun activity to sit down and match up characters. I found it tedious and rather difficult. Who could play these characters I’d spent so much time of my time conjuring. Well here it is, the all-star cast for the movie version of Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire. In the role of Ms. Sophia Marcil, herself, I would indeed cast the beautiful and always endearing, Minka Kelly. With a pair of blue contacts and some freckles, she’d do nicely.

Leslie was tough to cast because she is modeled after my girlfriend so I already have a specific image of her but Isla Fisher was a close second. She is petite and curvy and just enough of a quirky free spirit to bring the spontaneous best friend of Sophia to life.

As the Irish heartthrob Cullen, I would most certainly cast handsome and talented Australian actor Alex O'Loughlin. He would need some red highlights, fiery green contacts and an Irish accent, but my goodness, isn’t that just the most perfect nose.



Cullen’s rugged and mysterious brother Liam was a little trickier, I definitely see him as Collin Ferrell but I thought that might be the obvious choice so what about Justin Theroux? His role in Charlie’s Angels was definitely bad boy sexy and we know he can do an Irish accent.

As Penelope, the busty, flirtatious, blonde travel writer, I would without a doubt cast the buxom seductress of the moment Kate Upton.

And who else but dark and dashing Jesse Metcalfe to play spoiled arrogant playboy extraordinaire, Nick Bexx Jr.

That just leaves Nick’s celebrity rich bitch girlfriend. So how about Margot Robbie—not that she’s anything like the character, but she has the looks and the acting chops to pull it off.

And that, my friends, rounds out the perfect star-studded cast for my novel Curse of the Purple Delhi Sapphire. Now I just need to hear from Hollywood.

Guest Blog for The Mysterious Ink Spot http://rachaelstapleton.blogspot.ca/ by Anna Lowe, author of Desert Blood, Book 2 in the Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch series. My dream movie cast for Desert Blood? I have to admit the question had me stumped. It's like finding an actor to play your boyfriend or your sister: who could possibly be close enough to represent them? When I write a book, it always starts with a character that crops up in my mind, and it doesn't take me long to give him or her a look, a voice, a profession (always a profession: my heroines are all working women with passion for what they do, whether that's teaching, negotiating land rights, or consulting for a renewable energy firm). So I find it difficult to match them with a movie star or existing face. Cody, the hero of Desert Blood, is the oft-overlooked second son to his wolfpack's ruling alpha. He's created a role for himself: the carefree, easy-going playboy type. Inside, t

Let’s Get MYSTERIOUS!

In honor of Mystery Thriller Week, I thought we’d discuss the genre I love reading and writing: MYSTERY. Cozy, Suspense, Thriller, doesn’t matter, these intricate stories all have a similar set of components, including but not limited to a problem solver, a red herring or three and of course a solution. For me, the key to a good mystery lies in the plot. Does it have twists and turns? Does it shock you into suspending your belief? And does the author dole out just the right amount of twists at the right time? Reading a good mystery is like peeking through a keyhole. It’s all about perspective—you are limited to what you see. Not to mention, you only see what someone (the author) wants you to. The suspect is holding a knife over a dead body. Now you’re close to solving the murder right? But just one shift in that room and/or view, and you can see the clue in a different light. There’s a gun to the person’s head and they were forced to pick up the knife. Oh the twists to be had! I
