Sci-Fi and Urban Fantasy romance author Ann Aguirre is here today doing a casting call for her characters and giving away copies of her latest release, Blue Diablo (ROC Publishing, April 7, 2009)!!

CASTING CALL
One fun things authors love doing is to imagine who would play their characters. Since most of you will not have read BLUE DIABLO when this post goes live, I will do the casting for that book.
Corine – Christine Hendricks
Chance – Cha Tae-hyun
Jesse – Olivier Martinez
Eva – Penelope Cruz
Chuch – Luis Guzman
And those are the major players in BLUE DIABLO. If you´ve read it, feel free to offer your own casting suggestions. Otherwise, you guys should cast the Jax books for me. That includes Jax, March, Dina, Hit, Jael, Loras, and Doc. Include links if you can.

Ann has agreed to give one random commenter a copy of Blue Diablo and we’re going to throw in two others. So leave a comment and you might win one of three copies!
Ann, thanks so much for playing with us today!
**Please leave a vaild email address if you’d like to be entered to win BLUE DIABLO.
What about my Kel? He needs to be casted!
I thought I would leave that one to you!
Whoa….totally love the guy selected for Chance. The guy selected for Jesse doesn’t fit my vision. I am going to try to think of someone who would fit. Love Eva and Church selection.
Now the most important character is Corrine. Now Corrine isn’t a natural red head. She is too dark skin for her dyed hair. I am going with Eliza Dushku for Corrine.
Blue Diablo was great I really enjoyed it. I already own a copy, but if you are giving away autographed copies, I want one.

No, these aren´t signed. But in order to keep peoople engaged…
If you already own Blue Diablo, and you are picked the winner of my giveaway, I will happily buy you any other book that also costs $6.99.
Many thanks to the Book Binge for giving away too much copies. That´s a really exciting surprise!
Flip, I had a hard time with Jesse too. I couldn´t find anyone I thought was just right, and Olivier was the closest I could come. I would love to see who you pick.
Er, two more. Not too much. That´s what I get for multitasking.
This is who I see as Jax when I read the books: http://www.geocities.com/womenofhorror/alien4.jpg (Sigorney Weaver as Ellen Ripley)
Not really sure who I would cast as the other characters though, because I rarely watch films/TV
To be honest, I don’t know a ton of movie stars, but I always picture this smart-mouthed girl from HS named Stephanie as Jax. I’m not sure for March. Hmmm. Maybe Vin Diesel if he could act…
Great choices! I love how disverisified the looks of the male characters are. No cookie-cutter gents there!
I wish you every success, Ann, on your sales!
This sounds like a great cast of characters. Please count me in for the contest. Have a great day.
Ooh I love the cast. Count me in please.
I heard a lot about this book in the last weeks! The blurb was very interesting, and it’s nice that this one is the first in a new series as I haven’t read Ann’s other books. Please count me in!
P.S. That Christine Hendricks looks amazingly like the cover model!!! I guess she’s a good choice 😀 And Olivier Martinez…yum *licking lips*
I think Christine is amazingly gorgeous.
I think that Christine is gorgeous. I love red hair and blue eyes.
How about Manny Perez for Jesse?
I haven’t watched movies or tv for years—so have no clue as to who should play your characters.
Blue Diablo sounds like an excellent read.

Some great suggestions. Thanks!
I would love a chance to win this, I am not very good at casting calls though. I have heard great things about Blue Diablo.
I generally don’t cast the characters into celebrities… I make images in my head. I would suck as a casting director.
Great casting. Oliver Martinzes – yum! I have heard a lot of good things about this book, I’d love to win a copy.

Well, I can give you the closest I can get to the way I see Jax and March.
Jax: Emily Blunt.
Particularly as seen here:

March: Gerard Butler.

FWIW.
Hmmm. I haven’t read Blue Diablo yet, but I’ve just won a copy so I would definitely like to be excused from the giveaway please 🙂
And even though I haven’t read the book, I am kind of picturing Brandon Lee as Chance 🙂
All the best for the release of Blue Diablo Ann! I can’t wait to read it 🙂
Love the cast. Count me in please.
I am thinking it’s time to pick the winner!
And it’s Michelle! Lucky number 7.

I so need to read this book so I can find out about these characters. I’m really crushing on the guy you chose for Chance though 8)
Haven’t read this one yet. But its on my tbb list. Love the person you picked for Jesse He a cutie.
