Orlando Bloom

is a great way to start off Good Looking Man Moday here on the blog!

Orlando Bloom is the inspiration for my character "Grayson" in my steampunk novel, "Victorian Scoundrel." He's a British actor whose breakout role was "Legolas" in the 2001 Lord of the Ring Series. He also stared in the 2003 "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie as "Will Turner."

Interesting little know fact: He's dsylexic. "Alice," in Victorian Scoundrel is also dsylexic.

He's a Manchester United fan (soccer for us Americans) and he's a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassdor.

Question: What's your favorite Orlando Blood movie? Share!

Good Looking Man Monday - Kellan Lutz

Welcome to good looking man Monday. :) It's a great way to start off the week. My pick for this week is Kellan Lutz.

Sigh... for me it's the eyes. Piercing and soulful, they make Kellan stand out in a crowd. What about Kellan makes you smile? I'd love to hear it.

Just a little about Kellan:

He was born in North Dakota and according to Wikipedia, he went to Chapman University for chemical engineering before becoming an actor. (Hey, I went to Chapman for a year in 1998-9!)

He had roles in the American soap "Bold and the Beautiful" and the NBC Drama, Heroes, before being cast as "Emmett" in the Twilight movies.

He's single and likes extreme skateboarding, swimming and dance.

Good Looking Man Monday

This week's good looking man is Dax Griffin. He's an American actor who's acted on American soaps. He was born in Atlanta, Georgia and loves to run 10K's. He's also done a lot of work as a guest actor in the nighttime shows on American TV. Dax is the inspiration for my character "Michael" in "Twilight Over Moldavia," in the Moldavian Moon series.

What I like about Dax is this serious, intense look. It melts me every time. And that hair! Wouldn't I love to tussle it some more? Sigh...

What have you seen in Dax act in? What do you think he's thinking in this picture?

Just a friendly reminder: My coffee and chocolate contest will be held 20-25 SEP this month on my FB Fan Page. I'm giving away a coffee mug featuring Victorian Scoundrel, a Lori Powell orginal knit print, GC to Starbucks, Magnets, and Chocolate. See my website for more details.

Good Looking Man Monday

This week's pick is Paul Walker. An American actor, Paul grew up in the Glendale, CA area. He's best known for his role in the Fast and Furious movies. His break out role was in Varsity Blue in 1999. I really enjoyed him in the movie "Timeline."

He lives in the Santa Barbara, loves the beach and surfing.

Paul was my original inspiration for the character of "Viktor" in my Moldavian Moon book, "The Wolf's Torment." What makes Paul attractive are his eyes - blue and pentrating, they make me melt.

What roles/movies have you seen Paul that you enjoy? I'd love to hear your favorites.

Good Looking Man Sunday

I've got a guest interview set for Monday so this week's good looking man Monday has been moved to Sunday.

My choice for good looking man Sunday may be a bit controversal, but here he is: Prince Harry. I know he's been in the news lately because of a wild weekend in Las Vegas, but I remember when I was in my 20's I did a couple of things I should have thought harder about. I don't mean to make excuses at all. He needs to held accountable and take responsibilty for his actions. Certaintly Harry and his handlers should have handled Vegas by making better decisions, but I'd like to see the good things in people and to remind some that Prince Harry does a lot of good.

He's an officer in the British Army and served 77 days in Afghanstan.

He's done a lot of charity work including helping orphans with HIV/AIDS.

Prince Harry has twice had his charitable efforts recognised by the international community. In December 2010 the German charity Ein Herz für Kinder ("Heart for Children") awarded him the Golden Heart Award in recognition of his "charitable and humanitarian efforts".

In May 2012 he was awarded the Atlantic Council's award for distinguished humanitarian leadership due to his charitable work with wounded soldiers. He was presented this award by General Colin Powell, the former US Secretary of State.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Good Looking Man Monday

Today's good looking man is Roger Howarth, an actor on "General Hospital." He's also acted on Guiding Light, One Life to Live, and As The World Turns. I've loved watching Roger's acting since I found him on One Life to Live in 1997. As Todd he was menancing and intense. He's also been on Dawson's Creek and Prey. Roger has a nice smile here in this picture - so I'd love to hear your thoughts - what do you think is on his mind in this picture?

Which of my characters (from my novels) do you think he'd be a good fit for?

King Mihai, Twilight Over Moldavia

Dimitri Romanov, The Faberge Secret

Count Anton Varga, The Count's Lair

Prime Minister John Russell, Victorian Scoundrel

Prince Ivanstan, The Green Rose
