Sliding into the end of HIDDEN!

Check out this awesome picture of The Black (my mare who is so much like Lenobia's Mujaji). It was taken by J. Brodland, a photographer friend of my ranch manager. Isn't she beautiful! Working my way through the last half of HIDDEN! Ooooh! XXXOOO PC

New favorite place!

Hey there Tulsa area fans! One of my best friends and I have opened an awesome restaurant in the heart of Tulsa! It's a fabulous Airstream where you can eat outside and pretend like you're on vacay! Lola's Gypsy Caravan can be found at 1347 E. 11th Street. Swing by - have some delicious food - say hi to Lola - and maybe Kristin and me, too!! Here's the on-line article about it: http://www.tulsaworld.com/scene/article.aspx?subjectid=39&articleid=20120508_39_0_Itslik450439 XXXOOO PC

Two for one!

It's a super cool coincidence that it looks like Kristin and I are going to finish our latest novels right around the same time! I'm almost done with HIDDEN, and Kristin is soooo close to being done with her first novel length, stand alone manuscript, tentatively titled ABOVE. (Kristin serves as teen voice editor on the House of Night books, and has had some short pieces published one her own.) But we are getting out and enjoying the beautiful weather on our new bikes! Ooooh! XXXOOO PC

An Awesomely Small World...

So, I get this email today from one of my very favorite ex-students, Dustin Chad Gann. He lives in NYC (I knew he'd end up there and be totally successful!). He was on the train riding into the city and he saw a woman reading one of my books. He snapped a pic. He and the woman started talking. He finds out she's a friend of one of my long time friends, and she'd just returned to NYC from visiting Tulsa. She proceeded to pull out her camera (she's an amazingly talented photographer) and showed Dustin pics of my ranch and me. He was all like, "Whhhhhat?? You know her, too???!" Such a cool small world... Yea for fabulous ex-students! XXXOOO PC

Happy Spring!

I'm more than halfway through HIDDEN! You will not believe what's happening!!! Hope y'all are having a wonderful spring. The bad weather has pretty much missed Tulsa and the ranch. It's been a wet spring, but the rain has been wonderful! Everything is green and growing. Makes for excellent writing weather! Wishing you love and light, PC
