It is my pleasure to host RWISA Author, Bernard Foong on his blog tour!

If The Truth Will Set You Free is made into a film, who would I like to play the lead?
Normally, the casting is in the producers’ hands. I do not have a say in who should play me. If I’m given a choice, I would recommend a young Korean actor/singer by the name of Teaceyon. He looks like me when I was a teenager.

Book excerpt:
…After a series of invigorating dances with the party twins, I was ready to call it a night, but under Dorothy’s insistence, I stayed. Nobody at the party knew of my sexual inclinations except me. During a slow dance, Dorothy leaned her head against my chest. Although this intimate way of dancing was not new to me, I had no intention of leading my friend on. I tried to keep a polite distance. Dot thought me shy and continued her aggressive approach. I had little choice but to go with the flow since she held me tight with no intention of letting me leave anytime soon. The moment arrived when her lips almost touched mine. She looked into my “eyes wide shut,” and expected romance to sparkle between us. I did not back away, even though I did not feel the same as Dot. Since it was Valentine’s Day, I did not wish to upset her. I play-acted, as much as I could. In my mind, it was the correct thing to do. After all, I will be back to London in a week and would not be seeing my Malaysian friends for another year. To me, this was merely a moment in time to make my female friend feel good about herself.

Actually, that Bernard was on the 2/14 episode of Bring on the Spotlight, Jan. My mistake.

Jan, I love your wallpaper! Bernard, it’s probably part blessing-part curse that the directors have control over the casting. I’m sure if your books get turned into novels, you can make that casting decision part of your contract. Good luck! 🙂

I thought the same thing, Denise. I’m not familiar with that actor. What a fun exercise to assign actors and actresses to our stories. AND, I did see where Bernard’s first book is being considered for a movie. How exciting for one of our RRBC RWISA members! Thanks for stopping by!
