Alexa Crushed by T.R. Cupak 
(Alexa Crushed #1) 

Publication date: May 20th 2015

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Alexa Morgan lost her mother when she was two. At eighteen, her father and stepmother died when a devastating earthquake hit the Bay Area. Only one person has remained a constant in her life: Devin.

Devin has been Alexa’s best friend since childhood. The two are inseparable—or they were until Devin declared his love for her at sixteen. When Alexa can offer him only friendship in return, Devin retreats, brokenhearted.

Alexa, on the other hand, longs for Ethan, the boy next door. Four years older than her, and with an ever-changing roster of girlfriends, Ethan is everything Devin isn’t: wild, sensual, and unpredictable.

In the aftermath of the deadly earthquake, Ethan makes his move on Alexa, who reciprocates in a confused whirl of grief and desire. When Ethan leaves town shortly after, Devin comes back into Alexa’s life, offering support and expecting nothing in return.

Alexa begins to see the advantages of Devin’s quiet, stable love. But just as her feelings for her old friend begin to blossom, Ethan returns. Now Alexa must choose—the perfect boyfriend or the wild, thrilling bad boy. It’s a choice that changes her life forever.

Exclusive Guest Post - T.R. Cupak

If Alexa Crushed ever became a movie, who would she like to play her characters?
 To even think about this question makes my palms sweaty. I’m not sure if it would be a wish to have Alexa Crushed become a movie but if I were approached I sure as hell wouldn’t turn down the offer. I’d be a crazy person if I did, right?  

So, wow. I didn’t think this question would be that difficult to answer but it actually is proving to be a hard one. As I was I was writing my characters and began describing specific features I pulled inspiration from multiple celebrity figures. In the beginning Alexa Morgan’s features resembled a cross between Nina Dobrev and Amanda Kerr. Once I got closer to finishing Alexa Crushed I started imagining Shelley Hennig and Phoebe Tonkin. I had pictures of each girl side by side and Shelley Hennig won the Dream Cast role of Alexa Morgan, hands down. 

Devin Miller was a little easier. I downloaded pictures of Liam Hemsworth, Theo James and Colton Haynes. After studying each one I narrowed it down to choosing between Liam and Colton. Even though Colton Haynes doesn’t have the exact height I wanted for Devin, he has the football QB build and the good ol’ boy from next-door appeal. I could totally see him on the screen playing Devin. 

Now for Ethan Gage, bad boy next door. This was a no brainer for me. I have a huge crush on Nick Bateman. That sexy as all-get-out, man has been on my radar long before CoHo’s or Americas. I have a small thing for Canadians. I’m surprised I didn’t marry one, haha. 

As for supporting cast I would have to say that Joseph Morgan would be played by Eric Bana and her mom, Jeanine Morgan, would be played by Charliz Theron. Although I know that Jennifer Lawrence is a leading lady but as I was writing the twins, Jessa and Becca, her face and personality is what I kept envisioning. I guess that would be a challenging part for her, playing her own twin. Lastly, Olivia Gage, the woman who has everyone saying, “WTF.” Christina Hendricks is the first actress to pop in my head but Nicole Kidman with fire engine red hair could easily play Olivia Gage. I will leave it to the readers to decide that one. 

I hope that gives everyone and idea of my Dream Cast.

About The Author - 

Picture
T.R. Cupak was born and raised in the suburbs of a Bay Area city in California. She was the closet nerd who hid her love of reading and writing short stories and poetry when she was younger. Back then it wasn’t considered cool to be into those types of activities for pleasure, whereas today you have TV shows, movies and books that glamourize that being a nerd is actually cool. 

T. lives in a quiet, little, country town south of where she grew up. She is happily married to an amazing man who supports her in everything she does and spoils her rotten. They have a crazy little Shih Tzu named Harley. He's their fur-baby and even though he’s a pain in the arse most days, they love the little guy. She has an obsession with cars, especially fast ones. She enjoys her music louder than anyone should. Admittedly it’s to drown out hearing her own singing voice, or lack thereof. When she’s not at work or busy writing you can find her curled up reading a book on her Kindle with a glass of wine or Dirty Shirley.

T. lost touch with her creative side and stepped off the path of all things written in her early twenties. Six years ago, her passion for reading was rekindled. She began to utilize reading as a way to escape everyday chaos. Late 2013 she began journal writing. After a couple of months of journaling T. realized that this form of writing wasn't keeping her interest nor was it helping her to relax. After that realization settled in she changed the direction of her writing. Her creative aspirations were flowing once again and she happily embraced it. As her fingers started to dance across her keyboard she began to see her fictional characters begin to breathe life. Writing was only supposed to be a way for the new author to relax, but a story was born and T.R. Cupak is excited to be releasing her self-published debut novel, Alexa Crushed.
