BOOK NEWS
Nothing much to report on the book front this week. I was on vacation 😎
The only thing I did this week was make some character notes for the audiobook team over at One Night Stand (insert snicker here because my sense of humor is stuck at age twelve).
It was a strange experience to have to explain what my characters sound like. I hear their voices so clearly in my head. But, "Um, Dominic just sounds like Dominic..." probably wouldn't help the narrators much. So I thought I'd shared some of the notes I made about three of the main characters from The Wild Prince.
Mary Chase (27) - has a fractured family life and believes how good she is at her job defines her worth. Strives to sound confident, calm and professional most of the time. Generic American accent, but slips into California girl sometimes when she's trying to sound gullible or naive (example when talking the Viracocha club management). She's not good at languages and speaks French with an appalling
accent.
Dominic Prince (25) - is the fifth born son of the Prince family. Grew up when there was a lot of press coverage of his family, particularly his father's various marriages. Decided when he was young that he didn't care what was said about him and does what he wants because he's going to be talked about anyway. He plays mind games, but never lies. He's also a lot more responsible than he appears and has a deeply sarcastic sense of humor. Generic
American accent, maybe a touch more refined, with Harrison Ford-like smirky delivery. He was also raised in Paris and so speaks French fluently and sounds like a native.
Logan “Orion” Hunt (29) - the front man of the band Star-Bourne. Bold, charismatic, goes after what he wants. Has an amazing singing voice and is very expressive. Believes that he has to demand what he wants out of life. He and Mensa write most of Star-Bourne's music. Wants people to look at him and value him. Grew up poor in New Jersey and has done everything in his power
to get away from that life. Only member of his family he keeps in contact with is his cousin Pavo. Generic American accent because he lost the New Jersey one as fast as he could. The constellation he took his stage name from was Orion, the hunter.
So do these notes sound as strange to you guys as they do to me? 😅
