Werecat Inspiration

I thought I’d throw together some werecat-related things as a sort of blog inspiration board.

I had this song by the Stray Cats in my head this morning as I was waiting for the train, just after finishing a little work on my Werecat series. Kind of “on the nose” as a pop culture reference, but the swaggering, punky vibe fits well with the tone of my story.

I get Lady Gaga in my head as well when I think about what soundtrack would go along with the story. Sadly, this video for “Poker Face” features dogs. But I think the main characters Jacks and Farzan would dig this song.

 Here’s a male mountain lion, which is the main character Jacks’ feline self.

Here’s a black panther, which is the character of Benoit.

This is a photo from Mont Royal Park in Montréal, where much of the story from the first Werecat installment takes place.

This is a New York City bodega – another scene for a lot of the story’s action.

Actor Michael Fassbender, who certainly would be a great casting choice for the villainous character of Benoit.

Young actor Francois Arnaud would make a good choice for the main character Jacks.

Kal Penn, of “Harold and Kumar” fame, comes close to how I imagine the character of Farzan. Although Penn is Indian and Farzan is Persian. But I would need a somewhat comic and tightly-wound portrayal for Jacks’ earnest and conflicted love interest.
