While visiting Philadelphia to research my upcoming novella, I watched the movie, Man of Steel, in my hotel room. This is what happens when you want to go to a piano bar but your daughter is only 10 years old. Who knew that you had to be 21 years old to go into a piano bar these days? So there I was watching Man of Steel, when I was introduced to the actress who is a shoe-in for my heroine, Ophelia Price, also known as Lia.
My loyal readers will remember “Awful Ophelia” from NEXT TO DIE and TOO FAR GONE. Guess what? She and Vinny are finally getting their very own happily-ever-after this Valentine’s Day. Their novella, CODE OF SILENCE, will be released as part of an all-Navy-SEAL Anthology. I’ve looked high and low for the right celebrity to play Ophelia’s part, and I finally found her in the form of Amy Adams, the actress playing Lois Lane. Ironically enough, both Lois Lane and Ophelia Price are journalist. Amy Adams has the same copper colored hair, the same turquoise eyes, plus she embodies that sassy-yet-secretly-vulnerable personality that is pure Ophelia. Don’t you agree?
Look for a sneak peek of Ophelia’s story coming soon.
