Author Spotlight: Sariah Wilson (A Tribute of Fire, A Vow of Embers, A Curse of Ashes, The Chemistry of Love & other romance stories!
We had the honor of speaking with the prolific Sariah Wilson in today's episode! Sariah is the author of nearly 30 romance and romantasy novels, including The Paid Bridesmaid, The Chemistry of Love, and now her debut romantasy trilogy The Eye of the Goddess, which concludes in December with A Curse of Ashes.
You may recall Sariah's name on the show because back in May 2024, Sandra read The Chemistry of Love for Tera's birthday month. And when Sandra caught wind that Tera's favorite author was publishing her first romantasy, A Tribute of Fire, the Darlings hosted a readalong. Be on the lookout for a deep-dive of A Vow of Embers.
In this episode, Sariah shares her unique path in becoming a novelist, her love of all things Greek mythology, her recent signing with Ben Barnes, and planned spin-offs for The Eye of the Goddess.
It was such a pleasure to have Sariah Wilson on the show—check out her books!
