Lights, Camera, Action

By Evelyn David

Rhonda and I have been taking Hollywood meetings since we wrote the first Sullivan Investigations mystery, Murder Off the Books. Of course, those meetings have been imaginary, but we prefer to think of them as practice sessions for when we really do get "the call." Or another way to look at it, we create fictional characters and settings for our books, what's to stop us from creating fictional casting sessions? In a perfect example of the mind meld of the collective Evelyn David (as well as reflective of our ages), we both have always envisioned James Garner, from the Rockford Files era, as Mac Sullivan.

But these fantasy casting sessions have taken on new meaning over the last week because Evelyn David has gone Hollywood, minus the sunglasses, plastic surgery, and actually, you know, going to California. We've decided to release the three Mac Sullivan mysteries, as well as the first Brianna Sullivan novella, as individual audio books. We're looking for a reader who can handle both male and female voices and capture the tone, pacing, and humor we've written.

Not a job for the faint-hearted. Think about it. When Julia Roberts played Vivan Ward, the prostitute with a heart of gold in Pretty Woman, she didn't also have to play Edward Lewis, handsome, tough businessman (Richard Gere's role), not to mention the sleazy business associate that Jason Alexander captured perfectly. We're asking one person to play detective, love interest, and dog – and for the listener to instantly grasp who's talking to whom, where, and why.

And we love it. We've received several audition tapes of a few pages of each book. Some actors nail it – and some have been instant rejections. We think we've found the perfect reader for the Brianna book – still struggling with finding the right one for the Mac/Whiskey mysteries (dogs are so hard to cast).

Stay tuned.

 

All right Mr. DeMille, we're ready for our close-up.

(Can you name the movie?)
