Jessica Bendinger’s debut novel, a paranormal romance called The Seven Rays, is already being hailed “the nextTwilight.” (Vampire Kellan Lutz said it was “amazing” and Selena Gomez isreportedly in talks to star in the film adaptation.) It may be the author’s first book, but Jessica is no writing newbie: she’s been a rock journalist (she interviewed Salt n’ Pepa and Flava Flavwhile working at SPIN and MTV News), a Hollywood screenwriter (she’s responsible for the smash hit Bring It On, as well as Aquamarine and First Daughter), and a small-screen scribe (she wrote for the fourth season of Sex and The City). Her book is out today, so go get a copy (or you can test-drive it by reading the first chapter for free below)–we promise you won’t be able to put it down.

What inspired you to write The Seven Rays?
I’ve always been a big fan of astrology–reading my horoscope in the paper, getting my tarot cards done, stopping by a psychic if there’s one at a cafe, or checking my numerology in the back of a magazine. I just always loved that stuff, it’s so much fun. I wanted to explore it in an entertaining way–I thought it would be so cool if someone had the ability to predict what’s going to happen or to know what’s going on with a person just by looking at them. The book is really about one young woman uncovering her destiny, only it is much bigger than she imagined.

CONGRATULATIONS, JESSICA B.!

Oh. My. Gosh. LOST Co-Creator Damon Lindelof took the time to shout out The Seven Rays on his personal Facebook page. We are beyond honored.

So…why do I love Kellan Lutz?  Many reasons.  I met Kellan in 2005 when we were casting a movie I wrote and directed called STICK IT. He came in and read for the part of “Frank,” and I fell in love with him instantly.  He was sweet, he was sincere, and he completely embodied what I was looking for in the part: someone really friendly and really real.  I wanted an actor who was both stunning and authentic, and it was oozing out of him.  When he came back to audition for something we call the “mix and match” – where you test out the actors with one another  to make sure there is chemistry – he was a lock.  He was perfect with Missy Peregrym, who had been cast as the lead, but he was also insanely funny with John Patrick Amedori (who played “Poot”).  They were my dream team, and Kellan was as sweet as pie.  He was talented and made my job so easy.  He was a doll.

ARE YOU READY?!

Everyone in The Seven Rays team is proud to announce the big reveal of the much anticipated trailer to the debut novel from the creative force behind Bring It On and Stick It.

BIG shout out to Lucy Woodward for letting us use her song, “Love is Gonna Getcha.”

Do yourself a favor. Make your living room, office, coffee shop or public library into a movie theatre. WATCH IT IN FULLSCREEN. It’s a numba 1 stunna.

Enjoy!
