From Scotland to York


After an amazing day in the Highlands yesterday, Kristin and I took the train from Edinburgh down to York, and had a great event/signing at the Waterstones here. Now we have a couple of days to relax, shop, and just rejuvenate before going on to the Manchester event. Oh! A note about the Manchester event: yes, it's sold out, but Waterstones is allowing fans to come in after we speak and still get their books signed. So don't despair if you don't have a ticket! Come see us anyway!

I do have to tell y'all that I kinda left my heart in the Highlands...soooo magical there...

XXXOOO

  2. Hi Royce,
    Manchester and Ramsgate are our last two signings this trip. Sorry - we'll work on more next time.

    Jet lag is terrible!

    And, yes, I've already started BURNED.

    Love the pictures! Glad you can relax, I would have landed on a bed or the floor even if I had to do signings but I guess I would probably love to get the support. The difference is I'm not a writer:( When are you announcing the winners for the contest? Are you placing the pictures?

  5. What great pics PC, you guys get to go to all sorts of awesome places. (OZ being one of them next year he he's) I hope you enjoy shopping and relaxing. You definately deserve it! :)

    p.s. In the process of ordering my HON stuff from The Fire Goddess! Can't wait to get them!

  6. I have a question. Do you think of title names before you write the book, during the writing process, or after the book is written? I have read all 5 books and they all are very good, and I deffinately like how zoey has mistakes in the books, like how she is infatuated with 3 guys and not just 1. That is what makes me like HoN more than Twilight.

  9. HI PC.
    I want to congratulate you and Kristin, the series is very lovely.
    I fell in love with the series, I am very anxiously to read the 6th book and the next books are in bookstores soon.
    I found it very beautiful in the cover are the boys, is perfect.
    Maybe you can give a clue to why Erik is on the cover?

    Thank you for your attention, and once more Congratulations.

    I LOVE HOUSE OF NIGHT!

  10. PC, you have estimates of when publish "Burned"? Only the next year?

    Kisses.

  11. Hi Emily - I've chosen titles all three ways. For instance, CHOSEN, came to me before I began the book, but it fit perfectly, though it wasn't talking about Zoey - more like Aphrodite and Stevie Rae. TEMPTED happened as I was writing it, and BURNED came while I was writing TEMPTED. It's odd how it happens, but I've learned to go with my instincts about Titles.

    Wish you were here, too, Jana! York is wonderful, and it's been a beautiful day.

    Mariana - Erik is NOT on the cover and, nope, I can't tell you why. I don't have a clue when BURNED will be out - actually I don't even want to think about that right now because I have so little of it written!

    Hey PC!
    I was at the signing in York yesterday, and I just wanted to tell you how fantastic it was :)
    I was the girl on the front row, with the "mark" on my foreheard?
    Thank you very much for answering all my questions, signing my books, and for the "I <3 TULSA" t-shirt, I'll treasure it forever.
    I think it's such a lovely thing that you and Kristin are willing to do all that for your fans, and we love you for it!!
    I've made a video about yesterday with some footage, if you're interested:

  19. How did you come up with the names to your characters in HoN? It always amazes me how authors come up with names and such. your series is great, and I deffinately cannot wait until TEMPTED comes out october 27th. I'm deffinately counting down the days.

  20. Thanks for answering my PC ...
    Unfortunately you can not tell me anything about Erik, I am very curious.
    Burned asked about, why not wait to read the books and soon reach the end of the series, I am very curious and anxiously. Although I do not know what to do when the series ends. I think it will be difficult for me, when the Twilight series is over I spent a whole week depremida. ^_^

    I love House of Night!!

    How fun. I wish I was in UK... Sigh.
    Oh, and PC, I've just finished your Goddess of Spring book. Its AMAZING! Its one of my favorite books now, warring with Heart of the Dragon by Gena Showalter. It was so moving! I love it. Now Im on Goddess of the Rose. Its great, too, so far.
    Btw, is Anton gay? Im just wondering. He seems sort of like Damien. Ttyl.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Emily - I name characters in a variety of ways. Sometimes it's the name, or close to the name, of the person I'm basing him/her on. Sometimes I look for a name with a certain meaning that fits the character, and sometimes I just do it randomly.

    LL - yea! So glad you liked Goddess of Spring (Gena will be jealous!). I can never decide whether that or Goddess of the Rose is my favorite. You'll have to let me know which you like best. Yep, Anton is definitely gay, but way more fluttery than Damien. And the UK is wonderful!

  28. Hey i am really enjoying those selected lines from tempted but i was wondering if you could help me and some other people on the houseofnight.niceboard.net

    Spoiler Alert lines from Tempted

    "Nerd herd, focus. You're here to help the fledglings. Dour One and Dour Two aren't important," said Aphrodite.

    "Dr. Seuss reference. I like it," Stark said, giving me a check-me-out-I've-always-read-books hottie grin.

    Aphrodite frowned at him. "I said focus, not flirt."

    Who was he talking to i say Zoey but most on there think it he was talking to Aprdoite.
    i would really love it if you could clear that up it is drvining us all crazy. Please and Thank you.
    I cant wait for tempted.

  29. As far as I know the Kindle version will be released the same day as TEMPTED.

    Sorry, Stef, you'll have to wait to see who's talking to who...

    MS - our books are already sold to a French publishing house. They'll handle the translation.

    Chrissy - I don't think my publisher's posting chapter one until next month.

    Mariana - All I have is the title for the 7th book: BURNED.
