“Author Sherry Soule’s DREAM CAST” Okay, today ‘s post is provided by author Sherry Soule, who is celebrating the release of the second novel in the YA Spellbound series, MOONLIGHT MAYHEM—due to be published July 2012.   This would be her dream cast of actors if her books were ever made into a movie or a TV series. (She’d prefer the latter.) So without further ado here are Sherry’s top actor picks... My kickbutt heroine, Shiloh Ravenwolf is a tough one.

She has seen shadows for as long as she can remember, and they always turn up when something bad is about to happen. Shiloh was born with an ...
