Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

[synne]

I told Louise once that when I read the chapters I don't picture Ellery as copy of Hugh, but as a man who looks like Hugh Jackman, but it's not quite him. I picture Ellery with a sweet smile like Hugh's, but much thinner and lankier, and darker hair. 

The same thing with me  ,
 that’s the privilege of reading compare to watching movie, we can picture whoever we want. Immediately after I started to read about Ellery I have image of Tony Flanagan in mind and despite all those nice   and sexy pictures of Hugh  it doesn’t want to disappear ( he fits for me  as Ellery submissive character ).

ok guys, just stopping by to say I am going out to dinner and... won't be home till late.  So... don#t look for an update till tomorrow.

Yes... Hugh does talk about his wife an AWFUL lot... and I think that's to discourage women!

One thing to bear in mind is that when I first conceived Ellery, back oh, 600,000 words ago, I had in my mind the young John Carradine, before he got wrinkled and creased and gray.  Then I settled on his son Keith Carradine as the next best thing, from his album cover from when he was in  his early 30's.  By the time Dee came along with the breathtaking alternative of Hugh Jackman, the bass speaking voice, the extremely skinny physique, the 6 foot 3 height, grey eyes and long black hair were already locked in.  Nothing that Hugh can't pull off most of that (with the exception of the voice) but he was really quite a good alternate from my standpoint.  I often gaze at long-haired pictures and frown pictures of Hugh when I am anticipating writing Ellery dialogue and it helps me to focus.

I think it's more than that. His wife is also an actress but not as popular as he is. I think he is giving her some publicity.

When Hugh got his first role playing opposite her on televsion, she was quite popular as the lead in a TV series.  But then his career really took off.

I didn't want to mar my unbroken record by letting a day go by without writing a chapter.

Wayne is a fool. Ellery could definitely use an answering machine. They existed in the 1980's didn't they? That way he can screen Wayne's annoying phone calls. Thanks Louise, for the chapter, I wasn't expecting it!
