Do you have any actors or faces in mind when you write Shelby, Chris, Ramos (of course!), Uncle Joey, etc.?

Hi Traci!
No...I didn't have any faces in mind when I first wrote Carrots, but people have asked me what actors I would pick to play their parts. Seriously, their isn't an actor around who looks as hot and tough as Ramos does in my mind...although there was this guy on CASTLE who was Beckett's boyfriend (I think season 3 or 4) who was totally to-die-for - and he wore black leather and rode a motorcycle!!! WOWZa. Now that guy was definitely a candidate. I also saw someone at the grocery store that I could have pictured as Ramos...he sent my heart racing for sure...but I haven't seen the guy since. (not that I've been looking or anything LOL) There was this show on TV called "Pepper Dennis" a few years ago... based on that show, the actor who played the main character could easily be Shelby! But to answer your question...I don't see any faces that belong to anyone I know when I write...but I do imagine what they look like in my head. Thanks for the question!
Best,
Colleen

I can't wait to see the trouble that Shelby gets into! This has become my favorite series that I could never tire of reading it. And I can't wait for the release of Book 7! My only question is that I know you only dabbled a little into it in the last book of her hearing the dead woman, will she be able to do more things with her ability? For example, like project her thoughts into others.

I was so excited to learn that your new Shelby Nichols book is out, Devil in a Black Suit. I just downloaded it to my Kindle Fire. I will read it right away. I have read the whole series. It is one of my favorites! I will review it as soon as I finish. Where do you get your ideas?
