FIRST WINNER CHOSEN! Congratulations to Katie Clark!
For every unique share of this blog post on your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or other media outlets, I’ll enter your name into the weekly drawing for a combination paperback and e-book of Becalmed.
- We’re also having fun with ideas for actors to play the various parts. Come take a look at the Pinterest Board for Becalmed’s Characters and let me know if you’d like to add a suggestion. I don’t see my characters this way, which is why I like faceless covers, but one of my readers, John Pelkey, sent me these offerings. Here are two of his suggestions for Alex. And then there’s Bethanne.
- What do you think?

BECALMED‘S CHARACTERS
Sixth up: Alex and Bethanne Morgan
Alexander Morgan flips a lock of his black hair off his brow and tries to hide how conscious he is of his looks and his smarts. He strutted around Beaufort during his youth, competing, always competing, to be the best, the handsomest, the smartest, and a whole lot better than his older brother. Matt stayed put in this small, pokey town, but Alex has been places. Last fifteen years, he’s been living in the North and doing just fine, thank you very much. He’s got two gorgeous daughters, and if things aren’t going so well with Bethanne, well, that’s not his fault.
He shouldn’t have sold half his interest in Morgan’s Lumber to his brother. Fact is, Bethanne wanted that big house and the swimming pool. And if Bethanne wants something, she’s likely to get it. He’s not careful, she’ll sashay those hips of hers right out the door, taking her daddy’s money and connections right along with them.
Well, maybe now they’re back in Beaufort, he’ll let her. After all, he’s managing—all right, helping to manage Morgan’s—and he’s got other prospects. Looks to him like Tadie might just be one of them.
Love this choice of John Pelkey’s for Bethanne.

The launch date is so much closer. I wonder what the readers are making of your characters so far.

We’ll see as more readers who up, won’t we, David? And even though the “virtual” launch is still a week away, the actual on-Amazon launch happened early! Who knew?
Rufus Sewell is my choice for pretty much any dark and smooth character, so he sounds perfect for Alex. (I also have him in mind for the next James Bond).

He’s something to look at, isn’t he, Marina Sofia!
