Hi Guys,
Join me in the celebration! I turned in AWAKENED early this morning! Yea!!!! Now I get to take a few breaths while I wait for editorial feedback, which means I'm heading for the trails behind my Oklahoma ranch with Anjo, The Smartest Mare in the Known Universe (I'll have to post pictures of her - she's gorgeous).
Oh, 1) no, the book can't come out any earlier than January 4th. Now it has to go through the publication production process, which usually takes anywhere from 3-6 months or so. But, remember, you'll get THE FLEDGLING HANDBOOK October 26th!
2) NO I WON'T TELL YOU PLOT SPOILERS! Except that I made myself cry twice while I was writing it. And let's just say Neferet = eesh!
XXXOOO

I think I read all the books is about a week, maybe less, I can't remember, all I know is that I cried a million times, I wanted to punch Neferet a BILLION time, and I'm totally in love with Stark :) but well, I think all of your fans must be.. ^^ well, I must go now, but before I want to say congrants on finishing the book and that I can't wait until January 4th.

CONGRATULATIONS!I just know that you are finally happy to have finished Awakend,that's just fangtastic.I can't wait to read the book.They just get better and better with each one.You rock P.C.
Hey, PC!
I am totally as excited for AWAKENED as possible. . . . Knowing that you actually made yourself cry while writing it makes me want to read it even more!
Kristin said she's seen the AWAKENED cover, and I need to know (please)!! When will it be revealed to the public?? And is the coloring and design of the word on the HoN website at the bottom real/official??
For some reason, I imagined the words of AWAKENED to be a very bright blue, because I think of the sky when I think of awakening. But, anywho . . . I can't wait to read the book!
And, also, when do you think an excerpt will be up? Do those happen after editorial review?
whoo hoo! ((happy dance) another stage complete. Enjoy your break as your editor/publishing team enjoys the extensive use of the red pen.
I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah! Enjoy your time off….Congratulation on finishing Awakened!!! I can’t wait to read it and the Fledgling Handbook!!!!
Ah! Congrats! Can't wait for it. I was so sad when Heath died. He was my favorite of Zoey's bfs. I wish I had a bf that devoted.
Hi - I am waiting for Awakening with no doubts, preordered on Amazon!
I love your series and so does my daughter -- and I am a Twilight fan so I was really so into your books that I think you should create a TV series like True Blood did -- You could air a session each week, with 10 books that would be years and The series would be watched! Make it work, I would love to see it spread out versus crammed into a movie!!!! Good luck w/future books, I would love to read more.
Truly inspired MOM
Congratulations! I can hardly wait for January 4!!!
Very cool! Congratulations!
Can't wait to read it! And, it comes out on my birthday. What a wonderful birthday gift :)
Can't wait! Also, I can't wait until you post pictures of your horse :)
OMG!!! Thank very much P.C !!!! I can´t wait for this

Congrats! I bet it will be another great book! :D
Can't wait for both Awakened and Fledgling Handbook :D
I'm actually glad there will be no plot spoilers because this is one book I want to read for my own haha :D

...Oh, gosh! Happy-tears, or sad-tears? I'm afraid. D: I'M AFRAID BUT I'M EXCITED. THIS ASTOUNDS ME.
Dear Ms. Cast,
I was just remembering an online interview I read a while back where you said you might put a fans name in a book if it was a awesome name. And well my name drives me crazy but most people love it and say how awesome and unique it is. My dear crazy mother (who i love and is my best friend) spells it TONIA but it is not pronounced that way. When I got old enough to ask her about it she said she sucked at spelling. Which she does. Shes smart but she spells like poopy. Hee Hee Anyway my name is pronounced TAH KNEE UH. She probley should of spelled it Tanea. Anyway if you like it it would be great if you used it. it would mean so much. But no pressure. I love books and reading, its my passion. Its what I prefer to do above anything else besides being with and spending time with my children. You and Kristen rock!!!!
You should kill off Neferet and Kalona! and i LOVE stark!!! Zoey and stark belong together!! i love your series i read all the books like 7 times! and I'm still not sick of them! their WAY better than twilight and I'm obsessed with twilight to that's crazy of me to say haha love you and your series! and please dont let zoey or stark died. i cryed when stevie rae died. seriously. and stark to it was weird because i never cryed from a book before and it was weird because i hardly new stark this is getting pretty long and i could probably write A LOT more and your should come to oregon! bye!
-Brittany
OMG!! CONGRATS!! Can't wait to read it! God I hope Stark becomes Zoey's official boyfriend (not her almost bf lol) he is just soo...... well you know what i mean! I absolutly LOVE yours books I read Marked in about a day and I have been waiting for months for Awakened :) it is totally worth the wait if it was for any other series I don't think I could wait this long. But your books are defenately worth wait ing for! You totally have to post pics of you mare I bet she it beautiful.
Love: JOrdan
PS. I'm in love with Stark to hehe <3

Thank you,
TheReader..
I don't know when they're releasing the cover, but I CAN'T WAIT! I had a lot of input on this one (including picking the cover model, and I love it!). And wait till you see the poster for inside the cover - AWESOME!
Hi I love your series! I heard this song called Awake from Skillet, and I think you should use it for this book! It talks alot about souls! and is perfect for it.
Reading burned at the moment and nearly finished! Cant wait until awakened! I love these books!!!!!!

This is definitely my favorite cover! Ooooh!
Congratulations! I started reading your books only recently. Now reading 'Untamed'. Very interesting story! Keep up the good work!
Just finished Burned. Made me cry when Heath had to leave Zoey! Brilliant book!!!!!
Yippee!! Can't wait to read it. Although I think I am looking forward to December and the new Goddess Summoning book more (grin) And the handbook, its going to be totally awesome. My bookstore is giving away HON tote bags when you purchase the handbook but only 10 to giveaway!! And I've been promised one! Can't wait to get it!!!!!!!! Hope your having fun in NYC. ;)

I know u answered about ur cover already but sill are you u dont know ive benn going everyday to see if its been published!
PS: Will this be the last book? ( If it kind of spoils the waiting dont tell me)
Love <3 House Of Night 4EVA!
I can't wait if I had known it wasn't coming out till january I would have read the rest of the series slower :) I cannot wait to read Awakened this is the best series way better then twilight which I was infatuated with but not now house of night is it. You need to make a series on t.v. based on this series it would be huge way better then the stupid vampire diaries.
I also wanted to just say what a huge fan i am of u and ur daughter. Ur and her a r one of the main reasons I do actually read. :)
Congratulations Ms. Cast!!! I can't wait to read Awakened. It will be as awesome as the all the books in the series. More power to you. :)
Hi, P.C! I love the house of night novels, I really do. And now, I'm waiting for Awakened. I know it's gonna be awesome! I started to read the Hell Collection and I just finished Prom Nights from Hell, and I can't wait to read Kisses from Hell, that got a history of your daughter.
I'd like to know: Do you got some new about the Marked film?
I would appreciate if you answer me, thanks!
Bye, bye!
xoxoxoxo.....!
AWAKENED is not the last book. Promise.
Happy to hear you have gotten Awakened done. I can't wait to read it! My fiance, our twins and I just moved to Broken Arrow from Kansas and I remembered you lived in Tulsa. Being a stay at home mom, I don't go anywhere so Tulsa is pretty boring for me, lol.
AJ: I AM A TOTAL HOUSE OF NIGHT DIE HARD!!!!!!!! I CAN NOT WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK!! PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP PUT THE FIRST CHAP. ON THE WEBSITE!!!
Congrats! I'm so excited!! Omg... if you cried twice by writing it, and you created it... I'm scared I'll get too emotional! I'll make sure to read this alone in my room, like I did with Burned (Burned made me so nervous I was rocking back and forth).
Oh, and I'm also looking forward to the cover. The House of Night books have some of the most beautiful covers :)
YAY!
Dear Mrs. Cast,
Congrats on Awakend being finnished. I can't wait to read it.
As for The Fledgling Handbook I don't know if my Grandmother's Walmart messed up or not, but I bought it today (22nd). They had it on the shelf and I was like "That isn't due out till the 26th!!!".
I hope you got the rough ideas for the bookmarks that I sent. I love your books please keep up the great work. *bows*

I was on The House of Night Series website and was looking to see if the awakened cover is up. IT IS!!! Is that the offical cover, P.C.? I think it looks great anyway.
Is Kalona or Rephaim on the front? I couldn't tell.
Katie

Hi My name is Traci Tooker and I am here in cold Nova scotia, Canada. You have a TON of fans heretoo. ME being the top one of course ha ha. No seriously your books are totally amazing. I LOVE HON and I can't wait for Awakened to come out. In conclusion YOU ROCK !!
I'm from Indianapolis Indiana and have become a fan of The House of the Night Series. I have just finished reading AWAKENED and am totally fascinated by the gentleman who is on the cover clear down to the raven black wings. Can someone please tell us who he is so we can watch for him in other areas such as movies.
He is more than welcome to fly in window anytime-a girl can dream can't she!
