Coloring Book News!

As of today I have all of the images and text turned in for the House of Night coloring book! Yea! Design and proofing stages are next, then it will be available for you guys! I'm still on track for it to be released in May! I'll post links as soon as it's available. Until then, here's a teaser of Aura Dalian's lovely drawing that is being colorized and turned into an awesome wraparound cover for the book! (I especially love seeing Nala in the foreground!) Back to working on KALONA'S FALL for me! XXXOOO PC

My writing space!

I'm finishing the fan Q&A part of the coloring book manuscript, and because there were several questions about how/where I write, I thought I would post a picture of my Tulsa office. I've been writing on a TreadDesk (www.treaddesk.com) since 2009. I love my TreadDesk, and I wouldn't write any other way. Not only is it way better on my body than sitting in front of a computer, but the movement helps me focus and be more productive. I do prefer the TreadDesk over other treadmill desk models. I've tried LifeSpan desks, and not only are they more expensive, but they're too bulky and cumbersome. So, do I have a writing ritual? I suppose I do! TreadDesk, Superman, candles, and a Scottie dog or two… Back to writing for me! XXXOOO PC

Submit questions to be answered in the coloring book!

As you guys know, I'm publishing a House of Night coloring book, with illustrations by my fabulous friend and tattoo artist/illustrator, Aura Dalian (releasing in May). As part of the book I thought it would be nice to include a Q & A with me answering questions submitted by you guys! So, ask away! I have to turn in the coloring book manuscript this week, and I will include as many of your questions as is allowed by the page count I have left. Here is a lovely preview of one of the coloring book pages. I absolutely love Aura's version of our Stevie Rae! Can't wait to read your questions!

Earth Mother coloring book image!

You guys chose the second Earth Goddess illustration to open KALONA'S FALL, and I can't show IT to you yet. But I can show you the finished second image, which will be published in the HoN coloring book (release date in mid May). I think she's exquisite! Well done to my wonderful artist, Aura Dalian! Can't wait for you guys to see the finished version of the other image, too! XXXOOO PC
