P.C. Cast was born in Watseka, Illinois, and grew up being shuttled back-and-forth between Illinois and Oklahoma, which is where she fell in love with Quarter Horses and mythology. After high school she joined the United States Air Force and began public speaking and writing.
P.C. Cast is an award-winner paranormal romance and fantasy author. Her novels have been awarded the prestigious: Oklahoma Book Award, YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award, the Prism, Holt Medallion, Daphne du Maurier, Booksellers' Best, and the Laurel Wreath.
In addition to the House of Night Series, Ms. Cast writes the popular Goddess Summoning Series for Berkley Publishing. The sixth book in the series, WARRIOR RISING, was released in May 2008. Cast also writes an epic fantasy series for LUNA set in Partholon, the unique, award-winning world she created.
She teaches freshmen and sophomores at a large public school, where she is constantly "inspired" by her very enthusiastic and interesting students - so inspired that when her wonderful agent, Meredith Bernstein, said she'd like P.C. to write a series about a vampyre finishing school, Ms. Cast immediately envisioned a high school setting. Add a strong foundation of human physiology, thanks to her biologist father, and the world of the House of Night vampyres was born.
P.C. lives in Tulsa with her Scottie dogs and her terrible cat, Patchy Poo the Pud.
