The final lineup for my Five Sisters Fantasy Heroes.

For Kray's Roderick, I chose Henry Cavill and Dougray Scott:





For Kayt's Rowan, Josh Duhamel:





For Kayla's Lucien, it's a toss-up between Brandon Routh and James Marsden (I also have Tom Wellington in the mix...see a Superman pattern??):








For Kailyynn's Sebastyan, Rodrigo Santoro and Mark Fisher:





For Karyi's Dagibyr, Josh Holloway (with dark hair):



Let's start planning the blockbustin' franchise NOW!

A Transporter update.

So, since I've finished my story last November I've done very little to update it or push it closer to publication. Mike asked me about it recently, and I felt ashamed to admit to my laziness. Although, I don't think it's laziness. Apathy is more like it. I still look at the story as one of acute rawness. And I have second thoughts about it being too boring.

The story stands at 151,830 words...234 pages. A decent size for a novel, and with enough wiggle room to remove extraneous exposition. I've asked many people if they would read my novel when I was ready for critiques, and I'm wondering if I should just print it out and distribute it for that step. Getting feedback now, instead of trying to push through the damn thing myself, will help me focus on my weak points to make my story no longer seem boring in my head. It will help energize my desire to write and finally finish--truly and completely finish--my first novel. Then, publication.
