IS THERE REALLY GOING TO BE A HOUSE OF NIGHT TV SHOW?

Hello all, as many of you have asked about why I don’t make the HoN into a movie or a tv series I thought this would be a great time to remind/explain to our amazing, passionate, HoN familiy that Kristin and I are not movie producers or TV network executives, which means we cannot make the HoN into anything (except more books, which I do not have planned for the foreseeable future). HoN has been optioned by Davis Films since fall 2011. It is their responsibility to create a screenplay or a pilot for a movie or a TV series, and then to either produce that movie or sell the package to a network for a TV series. Kristin and I hawould vastly prefer a TV series, BUT we have zero control over whether a movie or TV series actually happens.

Yes, it has been a long time. Yes, we are even more frustrated than our fans that HoN has not come to the big or little screen. If you want to impact whether the HoN comes to the screen contact your favorite network and let them know you want HoN. Fan enthusiam counts, but it takes a lot of fan noise to get network attention. If you want a network’s attention fans must go to them (Google for contact info). HoN has more than 25 million readers. That’s a lot of noise and networks would sit up and take notice if HoN fans got together and got vocal.

Please know if I have any news at all, I will immediately announce it on social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Kristin and I love and appreciate our fans and wish for you to blessed be.

I'M THINKING OF WRITING A BOOK. DO YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE?

If you want to be a professional author you need to approach the career like you would any other job. RESEARCH THE WRITING PROFESSION. You can begin by reading: BIRD BY BIRD by Anne Lamott, HOW TO GET HAPPILY PUBLISHED by Judith Appelbaum, THE WRITERS MARKET, and THE AGENTS MARKET. Ignore the romanticized idea that says being an author is something magical and mystical – that you lay around, waiting for your Muse to whisper in your ear, or for your dreams to coalesce, and then you’re simply the vessel through which all the stories flow. Ugh. Being an author is a job. Writing is work. Period.

I’VE WRITTEN A BOOK AND WOULD LIKE P.C. CAST TO READ IT!

Good job you! Writing a book is a journey and a labor of love that not many manage to undertake much less complete. However, P.C. does not read unpublished works for two major reasons. First, P.C. is not an editor or a publisher. She cannot edit your book or assist with getting it published or represented by an agent. Second, P.C. is under multiple deadlines that prevent her from reading unpublished works for pleasure. P.C. recommends that you find either a creative writing class through your local community college or a local writers group. Both of these can be helpful in honing your skills within your craft.

If you’d like more detailed help with crafting a novel please visit Kristin's site. She’ll be more than happy to help.                                                                  

NOTE: DON’T EVER DOWNLOAD A PIRATED COPY OF ANY BOOK. IT’S STEALING FROM AN AUTHOR AND HER/HIS PUBLISHER. YES, IT’S SERIOUSLY BAD KARMA, WHETHER YOU EVER WANT TO BE PUBLISHED OR NOT. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO PURCHASE THE BOOK, PLEASE VISIT YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY.
