Here Hauf dreamcasts an adaptation of her new novel, A Venetian Vampire:
I'm a visual writer. I need pictures. In fact, when creating a story I generally start with pictures of faces and the story grows from there. I'm also addicted to Pinterest. This works well for me because there I can create 'boards' for each of my stories and fill it with the images that inspire them.Visit Michele Hauf's website.
For A Venetian Vampire the role of the vampire hero Dante D'Arcangelo would go to Rupert Friend. Shave his hair micro-short and dye it black, put him in a tailored Italian suit, pop in some fangs, and he's the guy.
The heroine, another vampire called Kyler Cole, was never embodied by an actress in my mind, but I did find a picture of a woman who is looking down, her long black hair spilling over her shoulders. She's not your typical slender, glamour-babe, and that's what made her perfectly sexy, curvy, and fun Kyler.
