Dreaming Up the Cast of Silver Echoes, Part II
My new novel, Silver Echoes, takes us on a wild ride through the Roaring Twenties, from Denver to Chicago and back to Leadville, Colorado, following the tumultuous life of Silver Dollar Tabor and her mother. It’s a story bursting with ambition, betrayal, love, and a quest for identity, and as I read it, I couldn’t help but picture which modern movie stars would bring these incredible characters to life on the big screen.
So, grab your popcorn, because here’s Part II of my dream cast for a Silver Echoes movie adaptation, complete with a little fun and flair!

Why he’s perfect: Carl is the earnest script boy who transforms into a rising Hollywood screenwriter, a man of integrity who deeply loves Silver Dollar despite her unpredictable nature.

His transition from “script boy” to “Hollywood screenwriter” would be perfectly showcased by Pratt’s natural charisma and ability to show growth in his characters.

Selig Polyscope: Lights, Camera, Tigers!
Imagine a time when movies were a brand-new, thrilling spectacle. A time when exotic animals roamed film sets, and adventure unfolded in real-time. That’s the world of Selig Polyscope, a pioneering film studio that stamped its mark on early Hollywood, and it’s a world I’ve woven into the very fabric of Silver Echoes.

They were famous for their serial, The Adventures of Kathlyn, a 1913 epic that captivated audiences with its daring heroine and jaw-dropping use of real animals. Continue Reading →
