Making a Movie of It

I think every author has a secret fantasy that his or her book will be made into a movie. Especially if it's a big exciting book with lots of action scenes. Like my most recent book - THE GIRL WHO REMEMBERED HORSES.

"The horses came streaming off the hill. Panicking, screaming notes of alarm, the moon glowed on their silken coats. Sahara could barely breathe. She had never been so close to the creatures. Huge muscles gleaming and feet pounding through the air, manes and tails floating awry, and the sweet smell of sweat foaming on their necks."

Or the scene where Sahara bonds with the foal:

"Sahara stroked the soft coat. I am running my hands across a real, live baby horse. This is not a dream. This is really happening. It seemed like a miracle, and Sahara knew at that moment she would protect this special baby with her life, if she had to."

In the novel, Sahara is a bit older than the girl in this bronze statue, but I think it captures the feelings perfectly.

Have you read The Girl Who Remembered Horses yet? Don't you think it would be a great movie?

Since the movie War Horse showed his affinity for horses, I might even chose Mr. Spielberg to direct. Call me, Steven. Let's talk . . .
