I certainly do! With ON TENTERHOOKS, I saw some of my main characters from the beginning of the writing process as a certain actor or actress. Others were amalgamations of several different actors or people I have known. This week I received a special treat &#8211; a reader sent me her dream cast for the movie adaptation.
