Harris writes Southern vampire saga with a grin
What's a nice gal from the Mississippi Delta doing with a passel of vampires, werewolves and assorted other supernatural critters? Just writing about life ---- with the unique Southern vampire spin of her No. 1 New York Times best-selling Sookie Stackhouse series.
Charlaine Harris had written mysteries for 20 years before delving into Sookie's world ---- two stand-alones and the Aurora Teahouse, Lily Bard and Harper Connelly series.
"My career really wasn't going where I wanted it to go," Harris said in a recent telephone interview from Arkansas, which she now calls home. "I wanted to do something different ---- I just wanted to branch out. I wanted to include a little sexuality, my sense of humor. I want to include a little blood. But I wanted it to be anchored in day-to-day reality."

Interview with Charlaine Harris, Author of the Sookie Stackhouse Series
Since their "existence," vampires have always been a cultural phenomenon, with popularity
waxing and waning throughout the years. From Bram Stoker's classic Dracula, to Anne Rice's Interview With A Vampire, humans have always held a fascination for the blood-sucking, night-stalking seducers. But as the times have changed — so too, have the vampires.
For the mainstream populace, Alan Ball brought the characters of True Blood to the small screen in HBO's immensely popular series. But it was author Charlaine Harris who conjured them into existence and gave these modern vampires life, er, afterlife.
Anna Paquin as Sookie StackhouseThe world of HBO's True Blood begins and ends in the sleepy, backwater Louisiana town of Bon Temps, where barmaid Sookie Stackhouse holds a not-so-hidden secret: she's a telepath. This also makes her the town weirdo and no other series of novels has so deftly made a gift like telepathy also into a curse. Truly for Sookie, it is a bittersweet blessing.
The funny, sexy and often exhilarating Sookie Stackhouse tales are told through Sookie herself. Mrs. Harris, herself a Southern gal, allows the the reader a sometimes uncomfortable, voyeuristic view of the inner machinations of the novels' protagonist. We feel what she feels, we see what she sees, we know what she knows. This includes her vanity, insecurities, her moral ambiguity and her developing sexual appetite. Considering the novel's begin with Sookie as a virgin, this is a lot of absorb — but also very titillating.

Arkansas Times pick up onm the New York Time interview with Charlaine Harris
True Blood' author featured
Charlaine Harris, the Magnolia author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels on which HBO's "True Blood," is based is the featured profile in this week's NY Times magazine. Some good stuff there. Example:
As a married woman with three children who lives in small-town Arkansas, how did you get so interested in bisexual vampires?
Honestly, I don’t know. Gay rights is just one of the social issues I’m interested in. I think that people might be less tense about it if we would all accept the fact that not everyone is wired the same way. I have a lot of friends who are gay, so it’s kind of a natural thought progression.There are that many gays in rural Arkansas?
You would be surprised.http://www.arktimes.com/blogs/arkansasblog/2010/05/true_blood_author_featured.aspx
