Casting Just the Sexiest Man Alive

31 Comments

I’m so excited about this, I had to post it here.  As many of you know, I originally wrote Just the Sexiest Man Alive as a screenplay that was optioned by a Hollywood producer but, sadly, never made into a movie.

This weekend a reader, Uli, sent me the below graphic she’d designed of a “movie poster” she’d made for Just the Sexiest Man Alive.  And she even cast the film! Check it out:

I LOVE this!  Wow, the details– especially the People magazine with Jason on the cover as “Sexiest Man Alive.” And I really like the casting choices, too.  So we’ve got Wentworth Miller playing Jason, Autumn Reeser as Taylor, David Boreanz (yum) as Jeremy, and Justin Timberlake as Scott Casey.

How about you?  If Just the Sexiest Man Alive was made into a movie and you were in charge of casting, who would you choose?

Have you seen the March cover of RT Bookreviews?  It just so happens to mention–ahem–me.

Okay, enough of the subtleties. This is pretty darn awesome:

See it there– in the upper left corner? That’s my name!!

The entire interview can be found in the March edition, which I believe hits bookstores later this week or early next week.  Oh, and in their review of A Lot Like Love, they call the book a “delicious blend of romance and suspense” and a “thoroughly entertaining read.”

Thanks, RT Bookreviews!

Coming soon… (and a cool giveaway!)

Stayed tuned, folks: juliejames.com is going through a redesign and the new website will be launched soon!  I can’t wait for you all to see it.

In the meantime, there’s a cool giveaway I wanted to let you know about. Over at Writerspace, I’m giving away a $50 Macy’s gift card and an ARC of A Lot Like Love.  (The gift card even has the book cover on it– how cool is that?)  You can enter the giveaway here.

Good luck to all of you who enter, and happy reading!

Need a quick (and awesome) holiday dessert?

In case any of you are looking for quick dessert recipes for the holidays, I just made this one and thought I’d share– it’s delicious, no-bake, and super-easy (many thanks to my friend Debra for the recipe!):

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

2 cups powder sugar
12 graham crackers crushed or 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup peanut butter
1 stick butter (melted)

Mix together and press into 13 x 9 inch pan

8 oz chocolate chips (I use semi-sweet)
2/3 cup peanut butter

Melt together over very low heat.  Spread on top of crust. Refrigerate.

Enjoy!

Off to the movie theater…

Mr. James and I are headed off to the movies today– our first time going to the theater in months!  Maybe even a year.  (This is what happens with two kids under four years old.)  Any guesses what we’re going to see?  I’ll give you a hint:

Yep, I can admit it–I set up a babysitter weeks ago so that Mr. James and I could see the new Harry Potter movie.  Hey, with a five week-old baby at home, a little advance planning is required…

How about you?  What have you been watching/reading lately?
