Patricia Reding:
If Oathtaker was taken and turned into a movie or show, who would you envision playing each character?
Patricia Reding
Most of this information was shared in a recent blog post on my website (at http://www.oathtaker.com/patricias-bl... and also here on GRs)
I thought I would start with my main character, Mara. Mara is a young woman who, by and large, I did not describe in Oathtaker—with one notable exception. I mention that she has a spattering of freckles across her nose. Dixon finds them amusing—attractive. The “face” I chose for Mara on my cover is that of Mybelin Hernandez. She does not have freckles, but I imagine if she ever played the part of Mara, we could add them. Here is a pic of Mybelin reading Oathtaker:

I find Mybelin lovely and . . . versatile. In fact, when I look at her pics, I cannot tell they are of the same person from one to the next.
As to Dixon, I always imagined someone rather quiet and . . . intense. Interestingly, there are two actors who I find fit the bill. I appreciate their portrayals in sad and serious scenes. Their eyes tell it all. Yet, their expressions of joy are entirely carefree, making me want to know what all the fun is about! They are, Zac Effron and Chad Michael Murray.

Oh! Oh, oh, oh ! Here is another option for Dixon: James Maslow. (Does anyone know if he can act? I mean, he looks nice, but . . .)
I’m betting that many young women would agree with my choices here. Yes?

As I think on others to play other characters, I will note them here.
