Book Talk

In Enemy Hands by Michelle Perry is a thrilling romantic suspense. I think this book would make a great movie because it is full of action sequences and is also a great love story. The chemistry between Dante and Nadia was there from the start. I really liked the humorous dialogue between these two. After Dante delivered Nadia into "enemy hands", I kept rooting for their safety but also that they'd reach that happily-ever-after and absolutely loved the final scenes that show this happening. I was also got a bit of an adrenaline rush from reading some of the scenes in this story. I won't include any spoilers about those scenes as that would take away the surprises Michelle Perry included in her story. But I'd like to! Hard not to talk about a book without talking about those! I'll tease you though... there is a scene that reminds of something out of Point Break and it isn't surfing.

It is my story that has surfing in it (Lord of the Night in Relic). If you check out Michelle's website you'll know that she is a Vin Diesel fan. I am too, to a certain degree. I like action flicks. In the follow up to Starlit Destiny (working title is Starlit Dreams) I have one scene that I didn't intentionally model after XXX, yet I got images of Vin Diesel when I was writing it. It has to do with the avalanche that he outruns when the bad guys are chasing him. In my story the heroine returns to the planet affectionately called Absolute Zero and considering the circumstances an avalanche made sense as plot element.

I read and write very visually. A lot of my first drafts are almost scripts because I've got the images strong in my head and I just write down the basics and then go back and fill in the meat. When I read I really like books that help me create vivid pictures. If you're a writer... do movies come to mind when you write? If you're a reader... do movies come to mind when you read?
