Since we're finally back from our tour (tours are fun, but really make you tired - and apparently give you bad hair, too, as you can tell from any number of pictures of us) and I have to hermit myself up AND FINISH TEMPTED BEFORE ALL OF YOU AND MY PUBLISHER KILL ME DEAD, I've decided the best way to answer the barrage of email questions I'm getting would be to post some of them and answer them in groups.
So please try and understand if I'm not being super good with my email/facebook/myspace responses. I'm focusing on TEMPTED, which means I have to limit my on-line procrastination (grin) time.
Here we go:
Question: I'm a parent/step-parent/aunt/uncle/grandma, etc., of a twelve year old (you can really insert any age from ten to fifteen or so here), and my child wants to read your series. Could you please tell me if it's appropriate for his/her age?
P.C.'s answer: First, this question really makes me crazy. As a long time teacher, from a family of teachers, perhaps I'm jaded, but I DON'T UNDERSTAND NOT READING WHAT YOUR KID IS READING, TOO! As a mom, I don't understand asking someone else what's appropriate for your child. So my short answer is: read the books yourself (not just mine, any author's books) and decide whether or not your child is mature enough to read them. I can't possibly know that. The longer answer is: Kristin and I had in mind kids sixteen years old on up when we began writing the series, and that still holds true. That said, when I was a kid I read everything I could get my hands on and would have devoured this series when I was a pre-teen. I'm the kid that got in trouble in 8th grade for reading a book my hag of an English teacher decided was "inappropriate." It was Eric Segal's LOVE STORY. I tried to tell the teacher it was okay with my mom that I was reading it. She didn't believe me and marched me down to the principal's office to call my mom. Mom said, "I know what she's reading. Leave her alone." Thanks Mom! Hees. So you see why this question is personal to me? I truly believe each family should decide for their children what THEY believe is appropriate.
Special note: please don't post defensive, hateful responses to this as you assume I'm passing judgment on your parenting. I'm not. You came to me asking my opinion. I'm giving it. That's all.
Question: HUNTED doesn't have a page in the back of it that announces the next book! Is HUNTED the last book? Help! Please say it's not the last book!!!!
P.C.'s answer: Of course HUNTED isn't the last book! I would never leave y'all hanging like that and just quit writing. We've sold twelve books to St. Martin's. I'm not sure how many will follow Zoey and how many will follow Stevie Rae (and Kristin and I have a cool idea for a new YA series not set in the HoN world, too). I promise I won't drag out the series - nor will I cut it off. I'll just tell the stories and see where that takes us. TEMPTED is the next book, and it will be out in the fall, probably around Samhain, which means around Halloween.
And I have no clue why my lovely publisher - who usually is freakishly close to perfect - didn't put a page in the end telling you TEMPTED will be out this fall. I think it was just an oversight, and I forgive them because Kristin and I heart us some St. Martin's!
Question: Do you know there are mistakes in HUNTED on page(s) ____________________ (fill in with a list of pages on which there are screw-ups).
P.C.s answer: YES! I KNOW! Okay, thank you guys for telling me, and I've forwarded the page numbers and mistakes to my lovely editor. They're being fixed in subsequent prints. But now you don't have to tell me anymore. THE MISTAKES MAKE ME CRAZY. I have no clue why they happened. I actually remember correcting several of them during the publishing process. All I can say is mistakes will happen, no matter how hard my publishing team and I wish they didn't. I mean, please. I taught English for fifteen years - you know I'd like to take a red pen out and go nuts on the book...
Question: Are you making a movie?
P.C.'s answer: First, authors don't make movies. Movie people make movies. Second, scroll down through my blog. I answer the movie question in an entire post.
Question: While I'm waiting for TEMPTED (hurry up and write Ms. Cast!) can you recommend any other good books?
P.C.'s answer: I do have a list of some of my favorite books and authors on my website, www.pccast.net. But, again, I'm not just listing YA books - so if you're really young, be sure to follow your family's standards and keep in mind your maturity level. Of course I'm going to recommend my Goddess Summoning Books, written for Berkley: GODDESS OF THE SEA, GODDESS OF SPRING, GODDESS OF LIGHT, GODDESS OF THE ROSE, GODDESS OF LOVE and WARRIOR RISING. But they are ADULT paranormal romances - so there's lots of sex in them. My Partholon fantasy books, published by Harlequin's LUNA imprint: DIVINE BY MISTAKE, DIVINE BY CHOICE, DIVINE BY BLOOD, ELPHAME'S CHOICE and BRIGHID'S QUEST, are sometimes hard to find. Several are out of print. BUT the good news is ELPHAME'S CHOICE and BRIGHID'S QUEST are going to be repackaged and re-released next year in Harlequin's new young adult imprint - so just be patient for those. I think y'all will LOVE those books!
As for other authors: I adore anything by Robin McKinley, Anne McCaffrey's Pern books made me want to be an author, especially DRAGON FLIGHT, DRAGON QUEST, and THE WHITE DRAGON. I love Amelia Atwater-Rhodes' HAWKSONG books. Christopher Moore is the funniest man on this earth, and I devour all of his books - just finished FOOL and couldn't love it more. I think everyone should read Ray Bradbury's FAHRENHEIT 451. I heart me the OUTLANDER series by the amazing Diana Gabaldon and WISH SHE'D WRITE FASTER! And Dean Koontz is also a favorite of mine. The list goes on and on...check out my website for more...and happy reading!
Okay - that's it for now. Back to writing TEMPTED. I'll post more Q&As next time I take a break/procrastinate.
Great to see all of you out on tour!

I'd like to read Goddess of the Spring/Light the most!
I can handle... graphic books... just not to graphic!
;P
Thanks for all the great answers. It was great getting to see you in Norman.
I'm with you on the whole read what your kids are reading. My Neice is only 14, and there isn't a book I give her to read that I haven't read myself.
Keep up all the great work your worlds are great.
I just wanted to drop by and say congrats on getting a mention in People magazine. You guys deserved a whole page though.
I'm so happy that the tour went well. I've had a complex about traveling since 911, so I worry about everybody. Silly I know.
A knew idea for another book series, sounds lovely. It'll probably be a while though huh?
Best wishes, as always.
J.T.
Hey there JT - I haven't seen the People review. What did it say???
I love your books! My Mother and the person who sits in front of my in Homeroom think I'm crazy for how fast I can read your books *cough*I read Hunted in about three hours.
But I have a question.
Will you be coming to Michigan to sign books? Because, it seems like most authors and poets avoid us. (Are we really that bad?)
And I totally agree on the whole read what your kids read thing. Though, my Mother and Dad think that I'm 'mature enough' (Pft, right) to know what's too mature for me.
-Kymmie
It was just a short recommendation, but I was still impressed. I wish there had been a review but they went with a review someone's life story...again.
HUNTED has entrapped me in a drug-like hold, I've thought about little more than what going to happen next for the past three pages. This is by far my favorite in the series so far. The first chapter was the best part, I read it twice before moving on.
Even more better wishes than before.
-J.T.
AHHH!!! You signed for twelve books!?!?!?
Thanks JT - I had no clue we were mentioned in People, so anything is a nice surprise.
Kymmie - as I've said on other blog posts, authors don't decide where we go for tours. Our publishers send us to cities they choose. It has something to do with sales and stores that are designed to host several hundred fans during a signing. So you need to get with your local bookstore and have a herd of friends let the manager know you want authors to come through and that you'll support them. Then perhaps the store will start contacting publishing houses and you will get on the tour list...
I love all your books P.C., but Hunted was AMAZING! I wish i read slower so I could stay inside Zoey's world longer... I can't wait for the next books!
I cant imagine what being an author and that busy is like I might crack under pressure. I need a new book too. jeesh I read hunted in like 3 or 4 hours (the book was awesome by the way)my parents always get mad a me cause i read to fast. well keep writing miss cast your awesome!
in what book is the zoey story/ point of view gonna end
First I want to say I love the house of night series. Ok well I found a mistake or what I think is a mistake on page 312. When sister mary angela asks kramisha to get zoeys grandmother she actully refers to her as stevie raes grandmother. Maybe I'm wrong about it but it kinds bothered me. Please let me know. I really love the books and I can't wait for the next one!!!! Thanks
Z.N. - I have no idea what book will be the last from Zoey's pov. When she's done telling her story - that's when I'll be done writing from her pov.
Tink - reread the 3rd Q&A.
thank you so much for saying that hunted isn't the last book in the series --- i thought it was because of that same reason, because there was no page in the back of the book announcing the next book. so thank you for answering that question. :)
Hey PC! I am actually a 32 year old mom who came across your books at the library while waiting for the next book in another popular series for YA! (I read anything, I am not prejudicial when it comes to intended audience! lol) But I like a lot of the same authors you do! Diana Gabaldon I've read for years and just love love love her! Anne McCaffrey I've read since I was a teenager (ditto on wanting to be a writer due to her!!)Marion Zimmer Bradley, Dean Koontz---I'll have to check out the others you've listed that I've never tried! Our library actually didn't have any of your Goddess books...so I requested all of them! ;)
Your worlds are great and you also make me want to be a writer! I'm writing my first book as we speak. It is wonderful to get a glimpse of a writer's life and see how great and successful it can be! :)
i was just wondering if the house of night is going to become a movie and if it is when is it comming out and i cant forget to tell u i heart ur books there wonderfull
Look through the archives, Suzy. I devote a whole post to the movie question.
PC
I love your House of Night Novels and looked forward to the next. I also look forward to reading some of the ones you suggested in the blog, and i totally agree, Dean Koontz and Ray Bradbury are amazing!!!! Thanks so much for writing books!
-brittany
i personaly like the BLUE BLOODS seires by MELISSA DE LA CRUZ when u have free time u should read them and tell me what you think i would love your insight on the books i personl love them. and i heard you and CLAUDIA GRAY are comming out with a book called IMMORTALS can u tell me what its basically about i know that the main character is suposed to be a character based in CLAUDIA GRAYS books EVERNIGHT, STARGAZER, HOURGLASS, AND AFTERLIFE dont get me wrong i love her books i read EVERNIGHT AND STARGAZER but i think you are a much better author
Hi Mutantfirekid,
I would like to read BLUE BLOODS, but when I'm writing young adult I don't read young adult, so it's sitting in my to be read pile.
IMMORTAL isn't a novel I'm writing "with" Claudia Gray. It's a collection of YA vampire stories for which I wrote an introduction essay. Claudia's story is excellent, as is my daughter, Kristin's, story (not set in the HoN world). There are several excellent authors in the collection: Tanith Lee, Rachel Caine, Nancy Holder, and Richelle Mead. IMMORTAL was initially released exclusively through Borders stores, but will soon be available everywhere. Enjoy!
hey miss cast, I was just wanting to congratulate you on the House of Night series. I think that it is brilliant and addicting. Keep up the great work because you and Kristen are amazing.
Thank you M! That's very nice to hear.
Hello PC I've got two questions for you. I'm new to HON, I started reading them about a week ago and I just finished Hunted. I was reading a few of the other posted comments, and one of them was about how many books your doing. Your response was some will follow Zoey and others Stevie Rae. Does that mean the best friends are going their seperate ways? I understand you dont want to give anything away. I'm just hoping I misunderstood that. My second question was I've been searching for the books on audio cd, I noticed only Untamed and Hunted are available. Please tell me the others will be available soon?!? Thanks so much!
~Jen~
Hello PC
I have to ask if you'd be making a trip near Eau Claire Wisconsin?
~Jen~
Hi Jenn - books about Stevie Rae don't necessarily mean she and Zoey are splitting up. It's just tough to tell anyone's story but Zoey's when the HoN books are first person from her pov. So Stevie Rae books will shift pov.
There are CDs of the first three books available through Bolinda audio, www.bolinda.com.
Don't have a clue where we'll be going on our next tour - that's up to our lovely publisher!
Best,
PC
Pc
Thank you so much, you've totally made my day with the audio books being available at bolinda.com!! I sit in an office all day and its great to listen to books.
~Jen~
I was shocked to see that we have the same tastes in Authors! I read The White Dragon in 5th grade! I would like to recommend another author for your list: Roger Zelazny. His Nine Princes in Amber series was fantastic, sadly he passed beyond the veil before finishing his final book in that series and his son had to complete it. It is the series that I look to in order to make my writing more descriptive. I devoured your books at a rate of 2 a day, but it took me months to finish his 10. I love your books, I love his books, I love most books. I take inspiration from many writing styles and If someone is looking for a challenge to keep them busy until your next book somes out- The Nine Princes of Amber series is a difficult read. Happy reading! And may your Beltane be Bright!

Okay I'm sorry I know you said you wrote a whole blog post about the movie idea but I can't seem to find it..Maybe I just overlooked it..Will you please help me find it..
Thanks
Precious
Precious Lette - in the text of this blog post just click on the hyperlink that says go to movie questions. Or look in the upper right hand corner of the page and click on the movie questions link. Or scroll through the previous posts until you find it.
hehe I really connected with this series when Zoey found Nala,I heart the lion king, actualy my cats name is Simba, and if he was a girl I was going to name it Nala, lol I found that rather funny while I was reading, and he was named before I read these books.
Best of luck with Tempted
Heidi
I just want to thank you for such an incredible series. My 17, 16 and 14 year old daughters and I are reading them and "devouring" each one. Just can't get enough. Looking forward to "Tempted"
Hi, I was wondering if after you finish Tempted would you start a new book for the series or is that it?
Edna
Hey Ms. Cast my name is Roxanne and i was wondering if you and Kristin are coming out with a 7th book?
Hi ms. cast my name is Sabrina and I love your books so much that I had my school library get them and I have to say I have seen a lot of people reading them!!!! (p.s. I go to fairfield Jr. Sr. high school in Lil'old Goshen, Indiana) BYE!!!!!!
Hey PC,
I have gotten very addicted to your house of night novels. Your books just pull me in and I never want to leave the house of night world. Which means that I finish them at a rate of about 2 books a day (that’s when I can check them out from the library because each of your books have a waiting list of at least 23 people so you have to sign up for them ahead of time).
My main reason for commenting was to ask you if in one of your next books you planned on revisiting a question that has been bothering me. That question is who killed PROFESSOR NOLAN and LOREN BLAKE? I know you made it seem like it was some crazed religious nut (possibly even the step loser) but it was never confirmed. And I felt like maybe it was Neferet instead because she was trying to start a war on purpose and it was part of her plan (instead of just an overreaction when it happened).
This unanswered question has been bothering me so I was wondering if you could let me know if it was going to be discussed further in later books. If not I was wondering if you would tell me what your answer would have been when you wrote it.
Thanks
Hi Prophecygirl - you'll get the answer to your question in TEMPTED. Just hold tight until Oct 27th!
Hi P.C & Kristin. I am 36 years young (!) and have just finished reading the first 3 books in the HoN series. Yes, I absolutely lovd them, and am now in severe withdrawal. I am from Australia, and for some reason (which I am hoping you might be able to clear up for me) only the first 3 are available. I was ecstatic when I looked up your websit, and found that you are actually on the re-write for the 6th (?) book in the series!! Yes, I did jump around for joy, while my 10 year old daughter looked on in amusement. So, what is my question?! Well, do you know why Australia hasn't gotten any further than Chosen? I know I can buy from Amazon over the internet, but as your novels are just that fantastic, I would much rather see our populace embrace all that you have to offer.
Thanks for the hours of blissful escapism and I am so excited that there are more HoN (and other novels by you) out there for me to get my hands on!!
Nicole xxoo
esca-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Hi Nicole - I don't know the release dates for Australia, but if you go to a big chain and give them the titles (UNTAMED, HUNTED, TEMPTED) they should be able to give you release dates. I'd love for you to wait, too, because Kristin and I will be touring Australia! I don't have dates yet, but keep checking my blog. I'll post updates here.
Nicole - I just got info from our UK publisher that UNTAMED and HUNTED will be released in July in Australia! Yea! TEMPTED will follow in October, which is the same time it'll be released in the US.
Hi P.C. Thankyou for responding to my questions. Funny that you say that the release dates for Untamed & Hunted is July & August for Tempted, as today I went around to my favourite bookshops & demanded to know why we weren't up to date with the rest of the world (so to speak). He took the time to find out the release dates & my name is now down to get Untamed for the 1st of Juy!!! Actually, I also asked him about the Goddess Summoning & Luna series but he said they were out of print?!! I told him that was impossible as Warrior Rising is a new release. I have asked him to find out definitively for me, but if you have any idea why this might be, could you let me know? Once again, I know you are extremely busy, so I understand if you can't get back to me. Oh, and OMG! You guys are coming Down Under! Fantastic. Thanks for wanting to come to Australia, you guys will love it. Cheers, Nicole xxoo
I have just finished reading, on your 'Anwering Questions - #3' that some of the Luna series IS out of print. I am sorry to have put that question to you when I should have read the archives properly. I apologise. However, the Goddess series should be available in Australia? I should probably go and apologise to the lovely owner of my local bookshop - oops!! Nicole xxoo
Hi Nicole - I have no idea why the Goddess Summoning Books should be out of print in Australia. They're not out of print here. I don't know where you're located, but you might check with Rosemary at:
www.rosemarysromancebooks.com/ I think she's in Brisbane. She's very knowledgeable about romance, and is familiar with my adult books.
p.s. The LUNA series is being reissued this summer, so they should all be available very soon.
Could you please tell me if it's appropriate for his/her age?
This is a good question and I would have to agree with PC, read the books to make sure it is right for YOUR child. My 12 year old brought the book home and wanted to read it, I read it first and of course got hooked, but thought it was not at her level. She was not old enough to read some of the things in the book. I love that she wants to read but there are somethings that a 12 yr should not read about they get enough of that on TV. I love HON and when she gets older she can read them.
Tigley - that's exactly what I meant in the blog. Each parent knows their own child and knows what is appropriate for him/her. At twelve I would have read the HoN books with no problem, but Kristin wasn't as voracious a reader when she was that age, and I probably would have waited on allowing her to read the series until she was more experienced and a little more mature. Well done you.
I would just like to say, as a 30 something year old mom...I love the HoN series. I read all of them in four days. I can't wait until the next book comes out.
hi
I love the houfe of night series so much, its awesome!
i just wanna know, how many books are there gonna be in the series?
As a mom of 3 boys who works at a bookstore I just have to say THANK YOU. Thank you for pointing out what I feel is the obvious - read what your kids read! No age guidelines or author's opinion can ever tell you what is appropriate for your kid or what he/she will enjoy.
And. of course, the HoN series is really wonderful. If I ever have a daughter, Zoey is exactly the type of teenager I would want to read about.
Lucie

HI!!! You are my favourite author of all time! I'm only twelve so my friends don't really read your books (yet! Soon as we hit high school they'll be hooked!)But me and my seventeen year old cousin both read them together! Like littarily, the same exact time, page for page, but we both want to read it first! LOL! I was just wondering if Zoey's Mom, Linda, is ever going to turn around and realize how Jhon is (idiotic)? I was just wondering, and I understand if you can't get back to me. This just seemed like something very important to me, as theres nothing more im portant than a mother's love... Okay that was cheezy, but still true! Thank You for being you! P.S. I know it's a spoiler, but who is the High Priestess for the Tulsa HON?
Hi Rachael - I absolutely agree with you about the importance of a mother's love. Sadly there are too many times when mothers don't put their children's interests first. When that happens, as with Zoey, the child has to strengthen and grown on her own or she tends to repeat the life mistakes of her mother. Zoey is learning and growing and she also has Grandma Redbird as a strong mother role model. I hope Linda comes around some day, too, but I'm not holding my breath...
Can't give you plot spoilers!
ahh thanks so much! I tried looking for your "Divine by Mistake" but couldn't find it, as you mentioned it was out of print. :( but I am going to read Goddess of the Sea! I just devour your work! keep going, great job, and I really can't wait until Tempted!
Hi Courty - DIVINE BY MISTAKE should be available now at any Borders store. Thanks for being so loyal!
PC
I am a 32 yr old mother & I just wanted to tell you that I have read everyone of the HoN Novels & I love them & I am very excited for Tempted to come out I plan to buy it as soon as it comes out I just wish it was sooner than October. I am also very happy that this isn't the last of them even my 36 yr old sister is reading them too! You are an excellent writer!!!
First of all I wanted to say i know this books for 8 days now and i'm almost done with Hunted. And As u can see I'm really addicted to your books. The story is amazing and gets never boring! And I also love that Zoey isn't just a vampire and all but that she is also still a teenager and acts like one, even though she's sometimes way mature than normal teenagers.
Second is that I don't think that u could, even if u wanted to, drag the books too much. High School feels like forever to any teenager and a lot happens. So even if u would write 20 or 30 books i think it still would be as amazing as the first 5 books! And I would buy all of them. Cus the story itself is worth it!
Thank u and Kristen for writing such amazing books and keep up the amazing work.
Loves, Nastaran.
Hey!
I am 11 years old and I am a HUGE fan of the HON series.
Maybe I missed it, but I have a question for you.
As an author, what keeps you writing?
Sydnee - deadlines keep me writing, but even if I didn't have them I'd still write (probably just not as quickly). The stories are in my head and I need to tell them.
Hi,
I was wondering in Marked u mentioned a tracker who marked Zoey. But I wonder if other vampyres can do that to or just a tracker ? And if we do get that part explaind in the upcoming books ?
I'm sorry if someone else has asked this before but I haven't found anything bout it, so I thought to ask it myself.
Loves N.
Hi Nastaran - Only a Tracker can find a newly Marked fledgling. You'll learn more about Trackers in THE FLEDGLING HANDBOOK 101 that will be out in 2010, and in other HoN books.
Let me just start by saying you are one of my favorite authors EVER!I dont really know if this is just the site for HoN fans[even tho theyre amazing] but i really,really wanted to tell you that i just finished reading your Divine by Mistake,Divine by Choice and Divine by blood books and let me tell you...they are incrediably beautiful.No Joke! I couldnt stop reading them at all.Im sorry to say that,I have to be on of those people who has to be a pain in the neck to ask: Will you be making another book to that series? Id really love if you did.I know you probably dont have time to answer back but i really hope you decide to continue Morrigan's journey!
Love and ALL my support,
-Gabby <3
Hi Gabby - Thank you! I love the DIVINE books and Partholon. Yes! There are more of them. I posted about them on my blog. ELPHAME'S CHOICE (release date the end of September) and BRIGHID'S QUEST (March 2010) are set about a century after the DIVINE books. And I wouldn't rule out a return to Partholon. Writing in that world is such a good time!
So what your saying is that Tempted is also not the last book of the series? because I seriously never want these books to end.
Pc i luv yall and ur books soooooo much, could ya please include tornto, canada in ur tempted tour pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
TEMPTED is not the last book in the series. I'm working on BURNED right now.
when are you going on the tempted book signing tour?
is tempted out yet??/ if it is im soooo getting it !!
I just finished the first four books of HoN and i have to said i love all of them, i practically devoured them.
I'm from mexico, and i can't find hunted, not even in the imported version. Plis tell me it will be available soon.
And i look forward to find all of your books too.
Thanks. Best Wishes.
Ohmygosh i just read the first chapter of Tempted and i already fell in love with it i couldnt stop re-reading it, and i love the tension between heath and erik
keep writing pc and kristin cuz we looooooove it.
Hello! there! Ms. Cast!
i have a question to ask but ur answer might be a spoiler! send (!) for yes and (#) for no!
Will Zoey have sex with Heath in this book?? I mean in Tempted! the is truth, I don't care much about her other boyfriends!especially Eric who is giving me on my nerves lately ! Or will be any sex in this book!??
Ms. Cast,
as much as I love your HoN series, I like the Goddess Summoning series even better. I especially lurved Goddess of Spring and was wondering if you could write more Goddess Summoning books.
Dear PC! I am from Russia and knew about your books thanks to a very strong PR campaign performing a serious work in Moscow. You can`t go anywhere without seeing BEAUTIFUL posters of Tempted.
I loved Harry Potter Series and other young-adults Series written by my favorite author Richelle Mead - Vampire Academy. And well, of cause, there was Twilight)))))
So I was afraid of disappointment when started to read your Series, but of cause as anyone else GOT ADDICTED to it and wanted to THANK YOU for giving us, readers, moments of pure bliss while going on a journey with Zoey and her friends. My only Disappointment was that the Series is not ended! And it will be a reaaaaly long wait to know what happens with my beloved characters!
The Site-admin of Russian HON publisher house was so tired of our collective whining that she gave us a Terrible Spoiler -
Ladies, save your nerve system `cause WHAT are you gonna do AFTER Tempted is out??? BURNED`s release date shall be ONLY in May, so try to have some patience because the situation with Zoyes relationships WON`T clear up a bit in Tempted (I know she said, I`ve read the original already!)))))))
I loved your honest comment here somewhere about you not prolonging the Series or cutting them only due to the contract. (If I understood correctly there are 12 books planned, but you won`t tell how much of them shall accumplish Zoyes story)
I LOVE all of your 5 books and want MORE MORE MORE but it won`t be fair to turn them to a commercial project only because you`ve signed some papers. The Protagonists of your Story are so Alive, so Realistic and Dear to us I hope you have an idea what to do with them next (so that it won`t turn into an endless sop-opera)
Oh, and can I ask 2 questions, please?)))))))
Russian fans from our HON forum also asked this Admin if there would be any sex scenes and she responded that you had to face some unpleasant reaction after this scene with Loran and Because (???) of this (well, at least in Tempted) there would be none.
Methinks EVERYTHING you wrote was RIGHT and IN ITS PLACE!!!!! Me too, was upset how easily Zoey gave in to Loran but I think its because how geniusly you`ve managed to create the feeling of wrongness in this scence - his pressing, persuasion, and her feeling of emptiness and guilt afterwards. I mean - when she was whith Heath and they were About to make sex it was just NORMAL and right - because they Trusted each other and no matter what (as we see forward) he would never abandon her. Also this scene helped to see that Erik was not-oh-so-perfect!!! Calling her names and all, wasn`t my exact image of a knight in shining armor!
So F'ck off critics! And let PC and KRIS do their work!!!!
We LOVE and appreciate it!
and Second - I watched your interview with Kris in you-tube where you said to disagree on WITH WHOM Zoey should be!!!!
GEee, that scared me to death! ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT question actually!!! Any ideas how you shall solve it??????
Please don`t kill Heath or Stark!!
Rrrrr. Hate to say it, but I don`t want to waste Erik too))))
COULD SHE KEEP THEM ALL SOMEHOW??????
(and F-ck those critics who think it`s a bad example for teens, we understand it`s fiction, LOL!)))))))
I was wondering if you have ever toured in Oregon? I am located in Central Oregon, the biggest town here is called Bend and it has a barnes & Noble. WooHoo!! Maybe consider it? I know there is alot of people that are a fan of your work besides myself. KUDOS to you for writing the HON series.
Okay, I'm not sure whether or not this has been asked, because I don't actually have time to read through all of the comments, but are you Wiccan? I'm just curious because I noticed that a lot of series is based on Wiccan beliefs, like Sahmain, for example. Or at least what I've heard about Wicca. Anyways, love the series, can't wait for Tempted and then Burned! Keep doing a great job!

Allyn, honey, when you're asking a question as personal as an inquiry about religious beliefs you really should take the time to read an author's other posts. I have an entire blog dedicated to religious questions. Happy reading.

First I just want to say that I love the HON books & I am planing to buy Tempted the day it comes out on the 27th which I am really looking forward to. Second I was just wondering if the rumors are true that they are making a movie out of it or if it's just that a rumor?
Check out my archives - I posted about the movie.
Hey Pc, um, i was wondering..who r the artists of the songs from the HoN spotlight videos? and also who r the models in the yearbook pictures?
Andreea - don't have a clue about either, sorry. I know you can download the song that goes with the newest trailer by clicking the link after the video plays, though.
Ok thanks, oh and by the way, if you remember, when you came to Toronto for the Hunted tour, you signed my book.(I love my books so much, i dont let anyone set a finger on them, not even my parents)
um... I have a copy of the Tempted book even though it is not supposed to be released yet. Is it due to maybe different publishing or something? Because I've seen many different types of covers for the various House of Night series. So I'm just wondering why it was up in sale in the shop when it isn't suppose to be released yet.
i wated to ask when the new HON book was coming out? burned the on eafter tempted.
I just wanted to say I love the HoN series! Tempted left me wanting more and more. i just love these books. I am going out to buy some of your other books because you are such a good writer! Thank you so much!!

I've just finished all the Partholon books and I have a question. Not to give anything away but the end of Brighid's Quest leaves lots of things open for additonal stories. You may have answered this before but, do you plan on revisiting the series with more sequels since the books have been reprinted? There's just so much story there I want it to keep going!
Thanks, I love your work.
Hi PC.Love Tempted lovve it i read it in one day i was up until 5 in the morning reading this book. com to the end and cry with Zoey. i like were your going with Stevie Rae. that was great. Why do we have to wait so long for BURNED six months is a killa. Why Heath? I try to guess whats going to happen and be way off.To make the time go by i will be getting your other seris. Keep them coming but could you do some thing about the time?not that i want to rush you or anything. thank you for your writing.
Hi y'all (sigh, a 34 year old english woman really can't pull that off)
I just wanted to drop by and say how much I am in love with your books. I only discovered marked a few weeks ago while I was browsing in my local book store, and from the very first chapter I was hooked, I read the whole thing in the space of a few hours. The next day I went back to the store and bought the next 4 books in the series and read them over the weekend, loving each book better than the last. I was like an impatient kid eager for Christmas to arrive while I waitied for Tempted to be released in the UK. When release day finally arrived, (yay!) I took another drive out to the bookstore, ran straight to the new release section, grabbed a copy, rushed home and read the whole thing in a day. Fantastic book, definately worth the wait. A few days later, I went back to the bookstore (geeez I should have bought shares with them) to see what else I could find.. I almost jumped for joy when I saw 'p.c. cast' written along the spine of another book called Divine by Mistake. Once I got home, I got comfortable and began chapter one...I don't think my butt left the sofa all day! Can I just say...WOW! I loved it sooooo much. Shannon/Rhea was perfect, she made me have so many laugh out loud moments, and I just heart me some ClanFintan (dreamy sigh)! So now, all my girlfriends are getting a copy from for Christmas. Can't wait for the next Goddess of Partholan books to be released over here, and while I wait, I have just ordered your 'Goddess Summoning Books' to keep me occupied, just hope they don't take too long to be delivered (my car died *sniffle*, i'm sure Mr bookstore owner is missing me terribly). In the meantime, I guess I will just *have* to read Divine by Mistake again (giggle).
Love the House Of Night series! i started reading the books this summer, and finshed Tempted today. It was amazing! I can't wait for Burned, and am counting down the days:) I really hope the book is turned into a movie.
hi i just wanted to say the house of night is awesome. but i do have a question. who is your favorite person in the house of night. and the reason im asking is i am an artist and i wanted to ask your pro mission to make art about the house of night. and i was hoping if you or when you do tour burned.and it would mean a lot to me and i would be honored. if i can give it to you just you know how much i am thankful for you writing the house of night books
P.C.cast & daughter,

I would like to thankyou for the divine books, my grandaughter 16 gave them to me I am bed ridden at the moment, I have just sent for divine by blood, very enjoyable read in fact I read them twice (were does it say you have to grow up!!)thankyou again
By Hermes's flaming asshat your goddess of summoning books are amazing! goddess of love was one of my favourites (as you can probably tell *giggle*) and goddess of the rose is another..and omg it had the perfect ending :)
I just wanted to say thank you for writing these amazing books, and for reminding me just how much I love reading. (even more than a foot rub.)
best wishes

I love the world you create with your books. I have to say, I'm quite addicted. I got Marked last friday, and I'm done with Hunted now. I live in a small town, so finding Tempted is going to be quite a challenge. :p Can't wait to read more, Happy Holidays.
One favour only one!! Please don't let Heath die die!! Please please??
I absolutely love the Partholon series! Well I've only read the first one that my friend lent me, but when I get some money I am going to buy them all and now I know about all your other books, those too! I just adore the way you right and how you bring each world to live, I get completely lost in your worlds and you're right I never want to leave Partholon! :) I'll take on all the nasties I don't mind. I would just like to thank you for writing such beautiful stories and I can't wait for more books from you!
You've also inspired me to write and I'm currently working on a series myself but it will take me years to write :)
