Книга: P. C. Cast «Goddess of Spring»
|
Lino's trendy bakery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is proving to be less than lucrative and when she stumbles upon an Italian Goddess cookbook, she can't help but think she's found the answer to her problem - even if it means invoking a goddess to save her business. Soon enough, Lina finds herself face to face with Demeter, who has a plan of her own. She proposes that Lina exchange souls with the Goddess of Spring, Persephone, who will breathe new life into the bakery. In return, Lina must bring order to the Underworld. Now that she embodies the enchantingly beautiful Persephone. Lina has weightier things on her mind than dough and second dates - like the formidable task of bringing spring to a world of spirits. But when the handsome, brooding Hades kindles a spark in her heart, Lina wonders if this Lord of the Underworld might be the man of her dreams...

Career
On her own, P.C. Cast is known for her Goddess Summoning and Partholon book series.[4] Her first book, Goddess of the Sea, was originally published in 2001, won the Prism, Holt Medallion, and Laurel Wreath awards, and was a finalist for the National Readers' Choice Award; her subsequent books have won a variety of prizes.[5]
In 2005, she and her daughter began co-writing the House of Night series.[6] In the wake of the current popularity of vampire fiction led by Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, the Casts' books have enjoyed substantial and increasing critical and commercial success,[7][8] and in March 2009, the fifth book in their series, Hunted, opened at number one on the best-seller lists of USA Today[9] and The Wall Street Journal.[6]
According to P.C. Cast, the concept for the House of Night novels came from her agent, who suggested the theme "vampire finishing school."[10] The books take place in an alternative universe version of Tulsa, Oklahoma inhabited by both humans and "vampyres" (Cast uses this alternative spelling in the books, explaining it as a choice she made "just 'cause I like the way it looks"[11]). The protagonist, Zoey Redbird, age 16, is "marked" as a "fledgling" and moves to the "House of Night" school to undergo her transformation.[4]
In November 2008, Variety reported that producers Michael Birnbaum and Jeremiah S. Chechik had obtained an option to acquire the motion picture rights in the House of Night series.[12]
Personal information
Born in Watseka, Illinois,[13] Cast lives in Tulsa, where she taught high school English[14] and where her daughter is a student at the University of Tulsa.[4]
Cast has been married and divorced three times. In June 2010, Cast wrote about her marriages and her current personal relationship with Seoras Wallace, a Scottish historian and chieftain of Clan Wallace, whom she met while researching her novel The Avenger.[15]
