Yesterday, I happened to bump into my actor friend Kate, who I mentioned above. She's totally onboard to play Keira. Now, if we could just track down Tom Wellings...

It'd be a real drag to share your life with a boyfriend no one else can see, someone you can't touch.<br /><br />I don't wan't to give away *too* much about This Is Your Afterlife's Keira and gorgeous ghost, Jimmy. But let's just say there's someone much more visible and touchable to pique Keira's interest. :) Vanessa Barneveldhttp://www.vanessabarneveld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8906848874883594926.post-52220331668049637952015-01-09T09:52:14.279-05:002015-01-09T09:52:14.279-05:00I struggle with books that feature a ghost love in...I struggle with books that feature a ghost love interest because those rarely end well, but I'm open to being proven wrong.

Brenton Thwaites is new to me, but he is gorgeous. And Tom Welling.
