and the #Lovestruck novels. She happens to be madly, passionately in love with her soul mate and is a fervent believer in happily ever afters—which is why she writes romance. She currently lives with her family and various pets in Utah, and harbors a lifelong devotion to ice cream.
Here Wilson dreamcasts an adaptation of her new novel, A Tribute of Fire:
This question is a bit difficult for me because these characters become so real to me that I can’t imagine any actor in Hollywood ever doing them justice. I definitely drew inspiration from Reylo (the Star Wars pairing of Kylo Ren/Ben Solo and Rey), so I can easily envision Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley playing these parts—the problem is that they’re too old for these characters (although I still think they’d both do an amazing job playing Jason and Lia). I am not as familiar with younger actors , but I think Xolo Maridueña and Ariana Greenblatt would do an excellent job.Visit Sariah Wilson's website.
Choosing a director would be incredibly easy. I would pick the man who created the Reylo dynamic in the first place—Rian Johnson. I think he is a brilliant storyteller, especially visually, and I know he would knock it out of the park. Not only does he have an incredible flow to his movies, but he seems to truly understand the female gaze and with a story that is so heavy on the romance and is told from a female point of view, I think he would get it. Patty Jenkins is another director that I always enjoy and she would also do an excellent job with the adventure and romantic aspects of this book.
