Raffey Cassidy as Victoria Bond

I spent two hours this evening looking at actresses. I found the perfect actor to play Victoria Bond. In an interview Raffey Cassidy she says her favorited movie is ‘Hanna’. It is on my top three list. I have watched it twice because I love the rhythm of it, the charge towards the enemy. Only Victory will suffice. She flips the switch.

“Bring it on!”

The beginning of my book ‘The Royal Janitor’ depicts a young girl who befriends a tough old tugboat captain named Anna. I was having trouble with the age of Victoria and did not want to do flashbacks. At sixteen, Raffey can pass for seventeen, then eighteen. We can watch Victoria grow up before our eyes as she takes in the grave respondibility put before. From standing in the wheelhouse of a tugboat, she finds herself in the conning tower of a Royal Navy Aircraft carrier.
