A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is a experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept a mystery.
Bright Star, Jane Campion (2009)

A couple days ago, I quietly released a book called "Sisters, Rivals, Monster Hunters" via my pen name, Caylen McQueen. I MUST post about this book because I had a very strong vision of the cast in this screwball steampunk comedy. (https://www.amazon.com/Sisters-Rivals-Monster-Hunters-Gasbags-ebook/dp/B0C6WLYB9B/ it's free right now fyi)
Sofia Carson... man, I'd love to see her as the main character Kathleen, if only to see her tap into bad girl energy for this role. It would be interesting to see, especially since I was introduced to her via Descendants (and have only seen her in cute romantic comedies since then). She's SO lovely, though. I just adore Sofia.
Owen Teague... I've imagined him in several different roles in several different books, but Wendall is THE character I'd love to see him play. I really think he'd be great as a smart ass, volatile, devilish pyromaniac.
RH Thomson... I love this casting of him as Georg. I'd been bingeing a lot of Anne with an E while writing this book, and he kept popping into my head. I just love Georg as a character, period. He's a strong, "take no bullshit" kind of guy.
Kerry Fox as The Grand Mother... I need this in my life. I watched The Crimson Field like a million times, back in the day. She's got the right "ice queen" (with cracks of vulnerability) energy for this role.
Hiroaki I imagined as Andrew Koji, and I believe "Hiroaki" is actually one of his middle names so it fits. (Warrior is FINALLY coming back this month, thank god!!)
Last, but not least, is Booboo Stewart as Ash. I chose this pic of him on purpose because Ash is a male model who wears a lot of, shall we say, "avante-garde" outfits.
I actually enjoyed this book when I went back to edit it, and I don't always enjoy my stuff. It had strong Princess Bride vibes. It had old Mel Brooks movies kind of energy. I dug it.
This book also has LGBT and disability rep. (Of course, there would have to be some gay boys when you've got 30 young men stuck in a convent...)
I hope someone out there enjoys this bizarre story as much as I did!
