Tag, you’re it!

Alicia Dean has a purty new website up and we’re celebrating by playing author tag,some of my buds from the Edmonton Writers Group and me.

• Hal Friesen
• Natasha Deen

You can see what Alicia posted here. The lovely Natasha Deen tagged me, and here are my answers:

What is the working title of your book? I kept calling it Finger Lakes until I could think of an actual title. 

Where did the idea come from for the book? I was sitting at a microfilm reader at the library in Ithaca, New York scanning clippings from 1916, and ran across a story that piqued my interest (discussed in more detail on my website). “What if?” I asked myself. “What if he was never caught?”

Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?

• Frank Conley (my hero)- Dennis Farina (ex Law and Order)
• Linda (his love interest) – Annie Parisse (ex law and Order)
• Russ (Ithaca’s town historian) – David Clennon (he played Miles on thirtysomething years ago)
• Libbie – Katie Holmes
• Young Olive – Laura Linney
• Older Olive – Betty White is a little too happy for this role. I can’t decide!
• Tom- Eion Bailey (he played David Webster in Band of Brothers)
• Stephen (Jamie Bamber – He’s on Law and Order UK)

I’ll tag Margaret Lesh. You’ve been tagged, darlin! 😀
