I mean, none of us really wants to be stolen away to marry someone, right? And yet it's impossible not to read those kinds of stories. What, would you say, is it about the idea of a stolen bride that makes it so intriguing? I think everything is better - especially the really dark stuff - if it's also funny. Izolda is a very sensible girl thrown into a world of chaos and madness like a grown-up Alice in Wonderland who falls in love with the Cheshire Cat. My sister wrote a serious article about what we can learn from the legend of Bluebeard in psychology and I thought to myself, "You know this would make a great enemies-to-lovers romance," and then I had to write it. What inspired you to write this story? Was there anything in particular that made you want to tackle this? Please give us a short introduction to what Fly With the Arrow is about.įly With the Arrow is a darkly romantic fairytale retelling based on the ancient story of Bluebeard. As our Author of the Day, Sarah tells us all about her book, Fly With the Arrow.
And she believes in stories - sweeping, epic, glorious stories that renew our hearts and our hopes and refresh our minds like woodland streams. She believes in the someday that will make all things new. She believes in heroic acts of bravery, that chaos sometimes trumps order, that there's humor in dark things, and that risks are what you make of them. She believes in big twists and beginnings that start in the end.
She believes that sometimes violence is the answer, that sometimes no one is coming to save you, and that self-sacrifice is always worth it. She believes in happy endings and that it should take a lot of struggle to get to them. Not the stories you think you want but the stories you don't know you desperately need. Sarah K L Wilson is a USA Today bestselling author.
