But like Juliet said only if it was tastefully done. I've read The Mists of Avalon and I've seen the movie but have noticed that the movie and the book don't quite mesh as well as I would have liked. Is there anyway to be notified if the trilogy is going to be made into a movie for sure? It would be awesome if they made Sevenwaters into a movie!

We've had some interest in the film rights for Sevenwaters, but no sale so far! Kat, it is quite likely I will write one more book in the Wildwood series, but it would be a couple of years before it got published (I have an adult novel to finish first, and it takes nearly two years from starting to write a new book to seeing it for sale in the shops.) I would like to write a book with Stela as the narrator.

Wouldn't it be great is some great motion picture company decided to make the Sevenwater's trilogy into a movie?

I had many questions, and many were asked here, thank you! To me, when reading Juliet's answers it almost sounded as if she were a character in a story all of her own. I could hear the mind's voice that gave life to so many characters and stories. In regards to the Sleeping Beauty story, you may want to read Jane Yolen's "Briar Rose". One of the first books I ever read, it too blends legend with factual events- in this case, the Holocaust. Thank you Juliet for your continued excellence!

I would certainly consider that for the future, provided I was convinced I could add something new to the story. It has been quite well retold by several other fantasy authors! But that's the great thing about classic fairy tales, they are full of layers of meaning and rich with possibilities for storytellers. I am currently working on something with a Beauty and the Beast framework. Hi Janelle, sorry I have been so slow to respond.
