***First things first, I wanted to tell you all that I'm speaking at the Salt Lake City Main Library this Friday (October 15th) at 7 pm in the main auditorium as part of their Dewey Lecture series. I'll be speaking about the power of words--and I may have a special little present for people who come out to the event.***
On to the fantasy casting:
Phew! Can I tell you how much work it was to compile all the pictures of the actors/actresses you guys nominated and then narrowing it down to my favorites? Pleasant work, yes, but hard and time consuming, none the less. There were so many great nominations!
I decided to make an individual post for each character rather than overwhelm you guys with too many options at once. That will be 8 posts in all over 16 days. Each post will stay up for 48 hrs so you guys can vote--and then in the end I'll post the "Ultimate Fantasy Cast" for a TDD movie. Be sure to vote in the poll over on the SIDEBAR of the blog, AND also leave a comment on EACH post saying you voted. I will select 10 random commentors/voters to each win a bottle of the new THE LOST SAINT Nail-polish.*
You will get an 1 entry for each character-post you comment on/vote for. But only 1 entry per vote per character--voting multiple times for each character won't get you additional entries.
Today we're starting with Grace. I've narrowed down the nominations to my 5 favorite choices, including the actress who got the most nominations.
So let's get started...
GRACE DIVINE
Physical description: Almost 17. Fair skinned with long, dark brown, loosely curly hair and violet eyes. She describes her nose as being "Roman." Has that "girl next-door" fresh-faced kind of beauty going on. Short.
Actress choices:
Lucy Hale (I think she looks a lot like the actress in the TDD book trailer)
Emily Browning (Got the most nominations [8] but not my own most favorite...)
Allison Miller (Love her "girl-next-door" look)
Dakota Fanning (Not dark-haired, but she gets tons of bonus points for her talent. Plus, she can always dye her hair, right?)
Emma Roberts (Always one of my personal faves)
Now cast your vote in the poll (over on the SIDEBAR of this blog,) AND leave a comment saying you voted on so I can give you credit for your entry. You know you want some of that nail polish!* The poll for Grace will be open until 2:30 pm MST on October 15th.
*Nail polish can only she shipped within the United States. If an international winner is selected, they will be sent TDD stickers and a signed bookmark instead of nail polish.

My vote goes to Lucy Hale, though Allison is a very close second!
And I absolutely ADORE the color for The Lost Saint. Looks just like the paint on my walls!
There were a couple that I liked, going to have to go with Emma though. She looks most like what I had visualized in my mind.
So hard! I think the only ones I don't like for Grace are Emily and Dakota.... So I voted for Emma! I can't wait to see the Daniel choices!!!
I voted! ^_^
I do not envy your picture compiling.
Voted! I <3 the nail polish!!
I don't know who Allison Miller is, but I also love her girl next door look :)
Love that color! I voted for Emma. I think she displays both the quiet and tough side of Grace.
I haven't heard of Allison Miller, but she's my favorite of this list. Voting for her.
I voted for Emma Roberts. She really looks like the Grace in my head.
My vote went to Emily Browning.
I don't really see Lucy Hale or Dakota Fanning as Grace. The other two could fit though.
I voted for Lucy Hale. I think she has that it factor that fits the part.
I voted. :)
I voted Allison Miller!
I voted for Allison Miller. Why I do love both Emma Roberts and Lucy Hale and think they have great talent, I feel that Allison fits Grace's personality and looks better.
Though I love Emma Roberts, I voted for Lucy Hale. She looks more the part.
I voted Lucy Hale, I can definitely see her as Grace! I don't usually sign up for contests, but I can't resist the nail polish. Thanks, Bree!
I voted for Lucy Hale!

I voted. Cute polish. How fun.
I voted for Allison Miller, my personal fav, jess stroup wasnt there, so Allsion is the next best!
I voted, although I do agree Dakota is very talented, I don't think she has that certain Grace Divine look to her.
I voted! Emma Roberts is always a hit!
I voted! I like Allison miller the best. She's the only out of the group I didn't know before this post, too. :) not that the two are related.

I voted! those girls all look amazing. I like Emma Roberts best.
Really wish we'd known you were going to do this :(
Both your books are on Storycasting.com, the site created just for 'fantasy casting', where everyone (including the author) can 'have their say'. Plus, we have actor photos built-in, and we provide instant stats on most-cast actors. Easier on authors, more fun for the fans. Give us a chance for the next book please! :)
Love the comments, guys. Get your friends to vote, too.
Danna- I hope you make it out to the event!
Jeff- Your site sounds great. I will have to give it a try the next time I do something like this.
Voted! :D
Voted! And, in case you're wondering, I voted for Lucy Hale. She just has that "Grace" look to me. :)

Voted for Allison she looks the most like what I saw in my head!
Emma :) She rocks!
Great line up :)

P.S. Allison Miller played the young version of Scarlet in 17 AGAIN. (one of new fave movies.) I thought she looked gorgeous in the movie.
I voted for Emma Roberts. Love her ;)
I voted, but leave me out of the competition for nail polish. I'll get it sometime at a book event, cause you know I'll have to get the book signed. Just curious, though. How old are Lucy Hale and Emma Roberts? They look a little too old to play Grace.
I vote it for Emma! She will be great!
Allison Miller all the way!
Voted for Allison, though I'm sad my choice wasn't up for nomination.
LOVE the nail polish!

I have to go with Emma Roberts on this.
Emma Roberts. Going off of the picture, anyway, she's closest to my mental picture.
I voted! Allison Miller just looks so much like I pictured Grace!
I voted! I so want some nail polish. I want some purple too. ;)
I voted. Emma Roberts was my suggestion for Grace so she obviously got my vote.
I voted!!! It was a toss up between Lucy Hale and Allison Miller! but i went with Lucy! :)
I wants me some of that nail polish!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Brooke!

I voted and I'll see you in Salt Lake!
I voted for Emma Roberts! When I scrolled down and saw her picture, I saw Grace there. :) She seems perfect especially with the dark hair!
I'm an international follower! It's alright because I still have TDD purple nail polish that I won last year! Thanks!

I voted for Emma Roberts! I've seen a few of her movies & I really like her, plus she's so pretty :)
I voted for Allison Miller. I agree that she has that perfect girl next door look. :) And the nail polish looks Awesome! I hope I get one! :D
Great choices! Hmm...I'd have to go with Allison Miller. Every time I see Emma Roberts, all I can think of is her old Nickelodeon show. lol
Voted! I'm not feeling Emily Browning. But I'm loving Allison Miller. Yay!
I voted for... Allison Miller!! All of them are good choices but I think she fis the bill perfect! And she's not too big that other people will compare her to her other roles like Emma Roberts and Dakota Fanning. As much as I love both of their work the might be too well know for that part. Plus Allison Miller is a brilliant actress!
(I'm international - so would love stickers and a bookmark!!):D

I really like Lucy Hale, but something just says, "Not Grace." I had to go with Emma Roberts. she has the look down pat.
I voted for Emma. She's the best at being sweet and stubborn.
I voted for Allison!
I Voted :) the nail polish is the coolist color
afanara1228@hotmail.com

I voted for Emma Roberts. I think she's the perfect grace.
sauvadeavelle@yahoo.com
I voted!:D Allison Miller looks exactly like I'd imagined grace:)
I didn't even think of Aria from PLL. However shes a good choice. I voted for Emma Roberts, I think shes my favorite as far as looks and body type. Plus she can be a pretty good actress.

I voted! Go Allison! :) Love the book & definitely love that nail polish. Fun contest!
oooh! I love the idea of Lucy Hale as Grace! And I love the nail polish color! I voted!

Voted. Emma Roberts.
vvn1234@yahoo.com
I voted for Dakota. She's an amazing actress and so experienced. Yes, a hair dye would be in order! :)
I voted for Emma Roberts. She's really cute. Sorry, I can't come tonight. I'll see you tomorrow though.
I voted Lucy Hale
I voted for Allison, really love her. I'm an international fan, so I'd be glad to receive the stickers. Anyway, thanks for considering your international fans!
Voted for Lucy! Thanks for the contest!
I voted, Allison Miller, I like her fresh face.
Stupidlamb61193@gmail.com
Voted! Love the new polish :)
I voted... it was hard... I liked Cris, but I´d like to see him smile first... so I picked Robbie ^^

for some reason my comment didn't post before. but I voted. Sorry it didn't work.
Hummm... some good picks from people! I voted!
Voted :)!!!!! So Excited for The Lost Saint!!!!!! But I ahte Waiting!!! :D
I think Matt Lanter is the best choice for Pete. He looks like he has that "triple threat" look. He also is handsome, but not too handsome where he would be a jerk, definitely a chemistry partner kind of nice. :)
Thanks for sharing this post, I like very much...bestsexymodel.com
I voted for Lucy Hale. She'll be amazing as Grace
Lucy Hale will be great as Gracie
