Wisdom of the House of Night Oracle Cards!

I am so excited about this collaboration between my good friend the intuitive, Colette Baron-Reid, and me! I've been a big fan of Colette's oracle cards for years (I use her Wisdom of Avalon cards often!), and teaming with her to bring to life an oracle for Nyx and the House of Night was fun and interesting. I think we've created a beautiful deck of cards and an oracle that works and is full of positive, loving energy! They come in a box, with an explanatory story and guidelines for using them (it's simple!). Oooh, and check it out! Kristin and I both got to have cards based on us! The WISDOM OF THE HOUSE OF NIGHT ORACLE CARDS will be available October 2nd, and should be everywhere (Amazon, B&N, local bookstores, etc.). Sorry, I don't know what the foreign release schedule will be yet! Enjoy this sneak peek at the Confidence card and the Individuality card. Hum...familiar faces... XXXOOO PC

Fan mail

Kristin and I get a lot of awesome fan mail, and we totally appreciate it - but sometimes we get special stuff. Okay, the crappy picture doesn't do the cool duct tape flowers justice (Kristin took the crappy picture!), but THANK YOU REBECCA from Newark, CA! Love the flowers, and I absolutely agree with you: handwritten letters are, indeed, much more personal. Thank you! XXXOOO PC

Clue #2 - it was 81 lovely degrees here today with a beautiful breeze, versus 111 and a furnace in Tulsa! Where am I? I just signed stock at one of the downtown Barnes & Noble stores! XXXOOO PC

Graphic Novel Signing Party!

Hey there Tulsa area fans! I've been so busy finishing HIDDEN that I totally forgot to post that I'll be signing the new HoN graphic novel: LEGACY at the 71st Street Barnes and Noble on Tuesday, July 17th, 7:00 pm. I know it's ridiculously hot in T Town, but B&N is cool! Come on out and see me! XXXOOO PC

HIDDEN IS DONE!

Bonnie and I wanted to tell y'all that HIDDEN is done! And may I just say that all fans of LENOBIA'S VOW will be verrrry happy with what happens between Travis and Lenobia!

Bonnie sends XXXOOO's to everyone, as do I. Now I'm going to Lola's restaurant on 11th and Peoria for some tacos and relaxation. Bonnie says she's not coming because it's too friggen hot in Tulsa to breathe right now... XXXOOO PC p.s. The lovely Lola Flash took the pic of Bonnie and me!

HIDDEN COVER REVEALED!

CHECK IT OUT! Ooooh! It's Zoey! And wait until you see the inside jacket poster - AUROX! Awesomesauce! Release date: October 16th! XXXOOO PC p.s. Not sure when my publisher is going to start releasing excerpts. My guess is Aug-Sept. p.s.s. Tour - Again, not sure about whether we're touring stateside. I can tell you that it looks like we'll be in Germany and France in November. Can't wait! I've never been to either country!

FINISHING HIDDEN!

As I'm writing the climactic scene in HIDDEN (released Oct 16th!) I'm finding it very peaceful to bike to the east beach and watch the sunrise. Gorgeous, right? Y'all will NOT believe what happens in this book! IN-SAN-I-TY! XXXOOO PC

House of Night graphic novel!

Oooooh! Check it out! The HOUSE OF NIGHT graphic novel will be released July 17th! It's an awesome hardback collection of the first five HoN comics. They're new stories woven between the first two books. LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out! And the art is incredible. Seeing the kids and the settings come to life is so cool!

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Well, I got a new camera and I've been practicing/experimenting with it to give my overused brain a break from the concluding scene in HIDDEN (at the end of a manuscript my brain is always fried!). On of my favorite trees in the world is the amazing Poinciana, and it is in full bloom right now. Check it out! And the smell - like an Oklahoma Mimosa tree mixed with orange blossoms. Ooooh! Back to work for me! XXXOOO PC

Cammy View & Creepy...

Well, I'm totally in my writer's cave pushing to get HIDDEN finished on deadline. Today I took a little break to walk my Scottie dogs right around dusk. We took the path that led past the cool graveyard and I snapped a Cammy View for y'all, and then I noticed a book someone had left. It was on the ground just outside the graveyard fence. CHECK OUT THE TITLE! Can you see it? DEAD OF NIGHT! A zombie book! Totally creepy... (Cammy says it should have been a vampire book!) Back to writing! XXXOOO PC

Fun in Phoenix

Thanks to all of our fans that came out to see us at awesome ComicCon in Phoenix. Our workshops were great (thanks for all the questions!), and I loved my panel with the fabulous Diana Gabaldon. Kristin is a total Dr. Who fan. And me? James T Kirk all the way! Back to writing HIDDEN... XXXOOO PC
