I thought you might like to see some of the visuals I used while writing Wrestlin’ Christmas and get a few more details…
Meet Cort McGraw –
Colin Wayne is exactly how I picture Cort.
Exactly.
To perfection.
I could write an entire blog about Colin, but I encourage you to go to his website and read his story. He’s a veteran, a fitness model, and a proud papa.
And incredibly handsome. Did I mention that part?
(Take a moment to wipe the drool off your keyboard before continuing)
For the part of Kaley (K.C.) Peters, I knew I’d found just the right character when I saw Kathleen Munroe’s photo.
She’s beautiful and those eyes are just incredible!
Sad and despondent is how I picture Kaley when she first meets Cort.
Then he starts to break past the barrier she’s set up around her heart and she realizes not all men are alike and Cort is, in fact, very special.
This is how I picture Kaley once she learns to let go of her fears and appreciate herself.
It took me all of five seconds to decide Brody Rose perfectly fit the picture in my head of Jacob, Kaley’s son.
This little guy just yanks and tugs at my heartstrings.
Oh, my goodness. Adorable doesn’t even begin to describe this kid.
As for the other characters…
Kellan Lutz is how I envision the handsome, charming Tate Morgan.
Daniela Ruah is the spot-on Kenzie Beckett- gorgeous, smart and sassy!
There are a bunch of fun pins on the Wrestlin’ Christmas board on Pinterest with everything from the crafts Kaley makes in the story to a few recipes. And steer wrestlers. If you like photos of tall, strong men, you might enjoy it! Just click on the Wrestlin’ Christmas Board.
While you’re browsing through those pins, turn on your speakers and listen to the song I think of as Cort and Kaley’s…
