Dream Movie Cast & Contest for Desert Blood. Enter the Rafflecopter to Win
Guest Blog for The Mysterious Ink Spot
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, though, he's yearning to break free
and become the leader he was meant to be. Here's the first time Heather meets
him up close...
“Everything
okay?” A voice came from the doorway, completely unperturbed. It was soothing,
like the sound of waves over a smooth, sandy shore. The voice warmed her from
the inside even before she spun and spotted the newcomer.
“Cody! Cody!” the children cried.
Heather's
stomach did a flip. It was him. The one she’d noticed around the ranch. The one
she couldn’t not notice.
The
ranch seemed to be a breeding ground for gorgeous men, but this one was in a
class of his own. Lean, blond, relaxed. Most of the others came in the
strong-but-silent, earthy category, but this one should be bobbing on a
surfboard, wiping salt water out of his eyes. He seemed in no hurry whatsoever,
as if today was just another great day of many.
Who has that
look, that voice? I can't name an actor, because no one is exactly Cody. No one
looks like him, sounds like him, tastes like him (and yes, Heather gets a good
taste on their first kiss, and their second, and their third. And then comes
the night he turns up at her doorstep with a Huck Finn grin and basket of
strawberries in his hand... Well, you get the picture!)
Now
he was inches away. Big, broad—but not too much of either. Just right. The nick
in one ear was the only part of him that wasn’t perfect. She caught his scent,
and it was an ocean breeze gone walkabout in the desert.
She
gave herself an inner slap. No, no, no! Men were not to be trusted. Not ever
again.
Not even this one? a small voice in her cried.
Especially not this one! came the slamming reply.
Whoever would
have to play Cody in the movie version of Desert Blood, he'd have his work cut
out for him, that's for sure!
And then
there's Heather. She has
no idea that the ranch folk are all shifters, while Cody knows all too well
she's a human and forbidden to him. He tries to deny the attraction at first.
But destiny is at work, and destiny won't be denied. Here he's walking away
from their first real interaction together...
A hummingbird whizzed past, and Cody
followed its cue, hurrying to catch up to his brother while trying not to let
the visions dancing in his head trickle out. If Ty caught him thinking those
thoughts…
But the visions persisted. Visions
of a willowy woman with champagne-colored hair swirled in a bun. He dreamed of
undoing that bun, finding out just how long and silky her hair was. Her eyes
were as green as an Appalachian forest and just as haunted. She was tall, too.
One little dip of his chin and they’d be kissing. He and the woman who stood up
to his brother like an Amazon defending her turf. She only wavered when some
memory jumped out and got the better of her. Cody wondered what it was, and
what force had steered this human to his part of the continent.
Destiny,
came a faint murmur, a whisper on the wind. Faint as it was, the sound still
managed to hammer Cody’s soul. His heart was pounding like he’d just run the
length of the desert, searching for his mate.

And as he continues to walk
along...
She
was like no schoolteacher he’d ever met. Her legs belonged on a fashion
runway—no, he decided, sportier than that. More like on a volleyball court. Her
eyes were a green he’d never seen in the desert. And the toned arms stretching
out from that sleeveless sundress, well, those belonged around him. He sniffed
long and hard, savoring her scent like the last bloom of the century plant.
Except this one came with a hint of strawberry. He did it again now: sniffed.
Mine!
his wolf growled.
I'm not sure
I can name any starlet who could hit Heather's mix of grace, class, and
haunting fears just right. So if I had the chance to pick the cast for a movie
version, I think the best solution to my dilemma would be to name a cast of
unknowns – faces no one yet associated with a dozen other roles (or a dozen
real-life scandals).
How about
you? What actor and actress would you pick? Drop your suggestions below.

Book Description:
Heather Luth knows nothing about
the paranormal world until one awful night changes everything. Now she’s on the
run―straight into the arms of forbidden love. Her mind knows better than to
fall for Cody Hawthorne’s sunny smile and mesmerizing voice, but her heart―and
destiny―have other ideas.
On the surface, Cody is warm,
witty, and fun, but beneath his carefree facade, Heather sees a real man
struggling to break free. Day by day, Heather and Cody grow closer and closer,
unable to resist their simmering passion―while day by day, a serial murderer
closes in on his prey. Duty fights desire; fear wrestles trust as the human
world clashes with the paranormal in a tale of forbidden love.
There’s more than meets the eye
on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle
for life and love.

About
the Author:
Anna Lowe loves putting the
"hero" back into heroine and letting location ignite a passionate
romance. She likes a heroine who is independent, intelligent, and imperfect — a
woman who's doing just fine on her own. But give the heroine a good man (not to
mention a chance to overcome her own inhibitions) and she'll never turn down
the chance for adventure, nor shy away from danger.
Anna is a middle school teacher
who divides her time between coastal Maine and a village in view of the
Austrian Alps. She loves dogs, sports, and travel — and letting those inspire
her fiction.
Once upon a time, she was a
long-distance triathlete and soccer player. Nowadays, she finds her balance
with yoga, writing, and family time with her husband and young children. On any
given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or hunched over her
laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will end with a chunk
of dark chocolate and a good read.

Keto Slim Max Certain groups of people, mainly children and women, have a hard time getting enough iron and calcium in their diet, according to the Office of Dietary Supplements. Think about it, if you are healthy then you can work and you can enjoy life. No one from Vitas had sought treatment for the blood infection that had made her severely ill, despite the family's standing request that she receive life-saving care in the event of a crisis. Vitas regularly ignored concerns expressed by its own physicians and nurses regarding whether its hospice patients were receiving appropriate care,” the lawsuit alleges.The Chemed acquisition set off a new flurry of investing in the burgeoning field, with hedge funds and other health care companies making acquisitions. If you are overweight or obese, losing even a moderate amount of weight, such as 10 percent of your body weight, may reduce your risk of developing serious conditions. Amazingly, when you eat a balanced diet of plant-based foods, you will notice unwanted weight literally melt away. That's a 40-79 percent savings for healthier, homemade food. Of companies with at least 50 workers, 94 percent already offer health benefits , a survey by the Henry J.
