Blog Tour (Guest Post): Persistence of Vision by Liesel Hill

Hi, everyone! Today we have the lovely Liesel Hill doing a guest post as part of the Persistence of Vision Blog Tour.

Actors for My Story

This is a question that’s difficult for me to answer. When I write a character, I don’t do it with any particular actor or actress in mind. I don’t picture any particular Hollywood face. Of course every writer fantasizes about seeing their story come to life on the screen, whether large or small. Any writer that tells you otherwise is lying.

And then there’s the fact that Marcus and David, being brothers, are supposed to look alike. Of course this can be achieved with makeup and CGI, but any actors I name will not look similar on their own.

That said, I’ll do my best.

I’m a huge fan of the CW’s Supernatural, so either Jensen Ackles or Jared Padalecki would be welcome in any film adaptation of my books. I think Jensen Ackles would make a great Marcus.

David’s harder to cast. Maybe Channing Tatum or Liam Hemsworth? Even then I’m not certain.

I really don’t have anyone in mind for Maggie. I can’t think of a single actress I’d love to see portray her. Don’t get me wrong. There’re tons of talented actresses that I love, but I’m just not sure any of them are Maggie. They’d have to convince me. Maggie would be an audition sort of thing.

I’d love to see Donald Sutherland or Patrick Stewart in Doc’s role. And for Karl, I’m thinking perhaps Gary Dourdan, though Terry Crews has been suggested, and I wouldn’t mind him in the least.

That’s most of the main roles for book 1. I don’t have anyone in mind for Joan or Clay or any of the supporting roles. I think there are many people that could play them.

I’d love to see my readers discuss this. Who do YOU think should fill the roles?

Persistence of Vision

Summary from Goodreads:

In a world where collective hives are enslaving the population and individuals have been hunted to the verge of extinction, Maggie Harper, and independent 21st Century woman, must find the strength to preserve the freedom of the future, but without the aid of her memories.

After experiencing a traumatic time loss, Maggie is plagued by a barrage of images she can't explain. When she's attacked by a creep with a spider's web tattoo, she is saved by Marcus, a man she's never met, but somehow remembers. He tells her that both he and her creepy attacker are from a future in which individuals are being murdered by collectives, and Marcus is part of the rebellion. The collectives have acquired time travel and they plan to enslave the human race throughout all of history. The flashes Maggie has been seeing are echoes of lost memories, and the information buried deep within them is instrumental in defeating the collective hives.

In order to preserve the individuality of mankind, Maggie must try to re-discover stolen memories, re-kindle friendships she has no recollection of, and wade through her feelings for the mysterious Marcus, all while dodging the tattooed assassins the collectives keep sending her way.

If Maggie can't fill the holes in her memory and find the answers to stop the collectives, the world both in her time and in all ages past and future will be doomed to enslavement in the grey, mediocre collectives. As the danger swirls around her and the collectives close in, Maggie realizes she must make a choice: stand out or fade away...
