That’s right – we’re giving you, our favourite fans, the first look at book 7 because we know you’ll be as excited as we are!

Look at it with love, fledglings, because we’re very proud of it.

As we are sure you all know Burned, book 7 in your absolute-favourite-vampire-series-in-the-world-ever, is published on 27 April and (obviously, obviously) it is going to be fantastic!!! UK publishers Atom, however, have decided that fantastic just ain’t good enough. No, Atom want to make the publication of Burned even more exciting for you! So, to tie in with the UK launch of House of Night 7, Atom will be publishing some very snazzy coloured-edged collector’s editions of the first six books in the series (and yes, that includes a particularly fetching paperback edition of Tempted!!!)

As a special January treat we got our design team to show you what these are going to look like but – trust us – they look much more amazing in person. These are definitely copies you’re going to want on your shelves!

All 6 books available to buy from 27 April 2010.

Chances to win sets of these absolute eye-treats, coming your way soon!

Stay tuned.

House of Night Team

This competition is open to both UK and US residents so logon to P.C’s blog now for full terms and conditions and details of how to enter!

The competition is now closed.

As you might expect from the dynamic duo, these were book signings with bite! The events saw P.C and Kristin giving advice to aspiring young authors and awarding prizes to the fans who asked the most original and interesting questions. They spoke frankly about the real life inspirations for characters and locations in the novels, talked a little about which of her many love interests Zoey may end up with, and there were even some teeny tiny hints about what’s in store for Zoey and the gang in Tempted. And tempted we were (lucky there are only five short weeks until Tempted is released in October, really!)

For those of you who couldn’t make it to the events (and for those of you who could and are just eager to remember) here are some photos, videos and highlights to keep you satisfied!

Events:

Waterstone’s York and Manchester

The tour got off to an amazing start. Fans in Manchester and York gave the authors a truly spectacular welcome! P.C. and Kristin were greeted by screaming young (and not so young) ladies in full Dark Daughters get up, complete with some seriously cool vamp tattoos! The authors took time out to give this interview to the UK HON fansite and one lovely York based fan even made this very well put together video! (Thank you!)

Ramsgate Library, Kent

By the end of this event the whole room was literally hanging on P.C.’s words. Kent TV press at Ramsgate’s newly revamped library were so beguiled by P.C. and the House of Night series they even put together the above video to document day three of the House of Night book tour. There is talk of Zoey and co coming to the UK, so in Ramsgate P.C. began her character research with a portion of good old fish and chips on the waterfront!

Extras:

Scotland

In Scotland P.C. and Kristin began their character research in earnest. Not a Scottish pagan site was left unturned … Check out the above, perfect location to cast a Full Moon Ritual circle, no?

London

In London P.C. and Kristin dropped into Sugar magazine for a live webchat. In just under an hour they received over 500 questions! Click here for full transcript!  The author’s UK publisher, Atom, sent them off in style with a high glamour high tea! Godiva chocs and bespoke organic cupcakes were had by all!

THIS WEDNESDAY 12 August at 3.30pm.

This is 100% LIVE. Get your questions ready!

Can you tell who is saying what to whom?

“You and I are bound. We will be each other’s salvation, or each other’s doom” He took a step closer to me and I mirrored his movement by taking a step backwards.
“Which shall it be? Salvation or doom?”

Stay tuned…
