Author bio
P. C. Cast was born in the Midwest and spent her childhood moving between Illinois and Oklahoma, falling in love with Quarter Horses and mythology at roughly the same time. That mix of everyday life and old stories would eventually anchor much of her fiction.
After high school she joined the United States Air Force. The job came with travel, structure, and a lot of standing in front of people, and she has said that public speaking and the discipline of military life nudged her toward taking her own storytelling more seriously. In off hours she read widely and began to sketch out scenes that blended the real world with the magical one she wished she could visit.
When her tour ended, Cast settled in the Tulsa area and became a high school English teacher. For fifteen years she balanced grading papers, coaching student writers, and raising her daughter, Kristin, with writing on the side. Former students often mention how she treated their work with the same care she gave her own. Teaching kept her close to teenage voices and concerns, something that later shaped the tone of her young adult novels.
During those teaching years she wrote what became the Partholon books, starting with Goddess by Mistake, later reissued as Divine by Mistake. The story of an Oklahoma teacher swapped into a parallel world ruled by the goddess Epona went on to win several romance and fantasy awards and showed there was a real audience for her blend of portal fantasy, humor, and heartfelt romance. She followed it with more Partholon novels and the Goddess Summoning series, where modern women stumble into reimagined myths in books like Goddess of the Sea and Goddess of Spring.
In the mid‑2000s her agent floated a simple idea: vampire finishing school. Cast took that phrase and built House of Night, an alternate Tulsa where teens who are marked as vampyre fledglings move into a gothic boarding school and swear fealty to the goddess Nyx. She invited Kristin to help shape the teenage voice of the series, and together they launched Marked, Betrayed, and the long arc that follows Zoey Redbird and her friends. Those books spent months on bestseller lists and were translated around the world, but on the page they kept the focus tight on friendship, messy first loves, and the cost of power.
Even outside House of Night, Cast tends to return to the same creative well. Her stories often start with a woman who feels out of place in her own life and then push her into a world shaped by gods, goddesses, or elemental forces. In the Tales of a New World novels, for example, she imagines a far‑future Earth remade by catastrophe, where clans of humans bond with canine and equine companions and fight a literal god of Death. The series opener, Moon Chosen, and its sequels, Sun Warrior and Wind Rider, use that epic backdrop to talk about prejudice, trauma, and building a new community from scratch.
More recently she has turned to adult dystopian fiction with books like Into the Mist, which follows a group of women crossing the Pacific Northwest after a mysterious green mist kills most men and leaves some women with startling abilities. The tone is more post‑apocalyptic road novel than classic paranormal romance, but the throughline is familiar: ordinary people discovering unexpected strength when their world falls apart.
Over the years Cast has become both a #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today bestselling author. She is a member of the Oklahoma Writers Hall of Fame, and her work has received honors such as the Oklahoma Book Award, YALSA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Awards, the Prism and Holt Medallion awards, the Daphne du Maurier Award, Booksellers’ Best, and the Laurel Wreath.
Today she lives in Oregon, close to Kristin, surrounded by dogs, a dramatic Maine Coon cat, and horses. She still visits schools, bookstores, and conventions, and she often talks about writing with the same practical, teacherly tone she once used in the classroom. For readers, her books offer big, supernatural canvases anchored by very human questions about belonging, loyalty, and what kind of person you choose to be when someone hands you power.
