DAY SEVEN: He's Got the Look
One of the books that I always recommend and you'll hear me gush about time and time again is the Forbidden Game series by L.J. Smith. If you've read this series then you know about Julian, a Shadow Man. Julian was one of my first literary crushes (tied with Anton from Summer of my German Soldier) and he was my Edward back in the day. I knew I wanted to pay homage to L.J. Smith when I wrote THE HOLLOW for being such a huge inspiration to me, so I figured one of the best ways to do that was with my hero! And that's why Caspian has white-blond hair...in honor of Julian.
