Get into character - Jason

Angel at the Paradise Hotel
                                                           Aneurin Barnard

Hello and welcome,
Building on my last two posts I want to start to introduce the main characters in Angel at the Paradise Hotel. 

Stepping onto the stage first is JASON
Who would play Jason in a film?  Aneurin Barnard!

Yes, he's Welsh (from Bridgend not far from my native Cardiff, yay!!) but he'd make a brilliant Greek Jason. I loved watching him on TV recently in The Catch.

If you have read my previous post you will already know that Jason is a hotelier. Actually, he's the manager of the Paradise Hotel. Oh, yes! Now you're almost getting in the door. 

Unlike a lot of his peers Jason is very well educated and speaks impeccable English. 

His Achilles heel is his love of money. And he is quite ruthless in chasing every extra bit of profit. 

Since he took over running the hotel it has become very successful - which puts him in the spotlight. Many local businesses copy his way of doing things. 

He does, though, attract a lot of jealousy from the local men. They'd love nothing better than to see him toppled.

You probably know someone like Jason                                  
If you do there's a strong chance that you don't like them much. But I have to tell you that I have found much to like in Jason. 

You see, Jason, like all the other characters in Angel at the Paradise Hotel, has been living with me since 1992. The various characters slowly emerged in the pages of numerous notebooks written with pens in all colours of the rainbow. Over the years these scribblings were transferred to a succession of computers. (I've written other novels since I began this one. But this, my sort of 'pet project' has been a real work in progress. Gone With the Wind took Margaret Mitchell 16 years to write, as I recall, so I'm not alone in this pursuit of perfection.)

It's quite a process bringing characters to life on a page. The starting point with each of mine were pages and pages of their personal history. The more you come to know them, the easier it is to describe their depths in a few words. 

So, I have come to know and understand Jason, and my other characters, very well. And I am very fond of them all. They are, though, rather a mixed bunch. Nothing boring in this novel I can assure you!

Will you come to like Jason and wish him well? I very much hope so!

Until the next blog post I wish you a peaceful and contented time.

Get into character - Clare

Angel at the Paradise Hotel   Hello and welcome, Building on my last posts I want to introduce you to another main character in  Angel at the Paradise Hotel.   Stepping onto the stage is CLARE Who would play Clare in a film?   Poppy Gilbert! Pictured above. Poppy was born to British parents in Stockholm. but she would make a fantastic Irish colleen. Poppy was actually paired up with Aneurin Barnard (my perfect pick for who would play Jason in a film) in the recent TV series The Catch.  If you have read my previous posts you will already know that Clare, running from a broken relationship, is drawn into a love triangle with Jason. She's not a pushover though!  She has red hair and the feisty character that I know, from personal experience, goes with that. M y lovely late-mum was a redhead! She is uncertain about Jason and tries to keep a guard on her heart.  Things that happen over the summertime confuse her emotions. She is very aware of the difference...

Angel at the Paradise Hotel Hello and welcome, I hope you are enjoying the backstory to my upcoming novel,  Angel at the Paradise Hotel ! I'd love to introduce you to another main character. Stepping onto the stage is BETHANY Who would play Bethany in a film?   Sheridan Smith!  Pictured above. I have cast Sheridan in this role as she is currently starring in the reprise of the one woman play,  Shirley Valentine  at the Duke of York's Theatre, Covent Garden, 17th Feb - 3rd June 23. Apparently the tickets sold out within minutes, quicker even than for a Beyoncé concert! This reveals the popularity not only of Sheridan Smith, but also that of  Shirley Valentine !    But how, you may well ask, is that relevant to Bethany? Well, it couldn't be MORE relevant, actually .  Bethany did a  Shirley Valentine  when she went to Corfu.
