Carrie Ryan had just found out that the paperback edition of her first book, "The Forest of Hands and Teeth," made the New York Times Best-Seller List when she was whisked off to do her promotional tour for the YA post-apocalyptic zombie novel's sequel, "The Dead-Tossed Waves." And then she found herself almost as trapped as one of her characters as New York City was temporarily crippled by a freak storm.
"It was funny, having written post-apocalyptic books and going to schools where they say, 'Things couldn't fall apart that fast,' I'm like, 'We had a little bit of wind and we couldn't leave New York by train, by plane, by car,' " Ryan recalled from the safety of a Detroit hotel. At least she didn't have to face any other dangers to talk to us while on her virtual "blog tour." We don't usually bite.
MTV: We're dying to know, have you heard anything new about the movie adaptation of "Forest"?
Carrie Ryan: Not a thing yet. ... It's fun for me, though, because I know who they want to play Mary. And so I sort of follow her career a little bit, and it's funny to see the timing of things. Suddenly, I find myself very curious about certain movies that I'd never even know about, because if she stars in them, that affects what could happen with ours. [Ed. note: This actress is rumored to be Kristen Stewart.]
MTV: Not knowing would drive me crazy!
Ryan: There's a saying someone told me: May your book always be optioned but never be turned into a movie. If they keep re-upping your option, you get a check every time.
My opinion--- NOOOOO NOT KRISTEN STEWART!!!!!
