Charlaine speaks : breaking news from Houston

Good Morning all

We have big news from our Houston trip yesterday to hear Charlaine Harris ….
We really think some of her answers to the questions she was asked were “news worthy”

I have the entire event on video tape and I also have wonderful photographs.

We didn’t get home until 1:00 am and poor ObjectDesire had to head right out to work at 6 am.
She will be writing one of her FANTASTIC travelogues, this was a very funny trip and it will probably be reflected in her writing. ( I think I will be the butt of the joke) We will have to wait a couple of days for that ….

I will be getting up some photos and sneaks of some of CH more interesting answers soon on the blog.
By later this afternoon I will have the full 25 minutes of video up streaming (and running in a loop) life on the blog.. (It streams right on the blog- right column) http://lovingtruebloodindallas.blogspot.com/

This was Charlaine’s only public appearance in promotion of the release of the first ever hardcover version of Living Dead in Dallas (which is BEAUTIFUL) …and she will have limited appearances after Book 9 in May.

THE BEST NEWS !

I have autographed books to give away, the first book will be given away to someone who posts a comment to one of the ‘Charlaine in Houston’ posts on the blog.

You must post a comment ( only one) using your HBO wiki name, blog name or other internet name ( DO NOT post your full real name , or your email address ) I will post the winner’s name next week to the blog. We will come up with some other contest later …

Thanks , “Dallas”

Exciting! Oh, I finished Club Dead. Loved it! I will try and get a review on sooner or later. I wish Charlaine would stop beating up Sookie, however. I almost cringe at all the pain she gets in!

Dallas and Object,
Kudos to you both for taking up the cause for all of us who couldn't go. I love all the fun and adventures with you two...makes waiting over these next months more bearable! Keep up the great work..I'm looking forward to reading about all the details!

Oh, Dallas! We are not worthy!! I so wish I could have been with You & Object! It would have been wonderful to be be on a road trip with the two of you! What fun we could have had on our way from Dallas to Houston to see Ms. Harris! Then to hear her speak about her books & characters....I bet there were lots of laughs in that room! I saw the movie on Facebook - lots of happy people in that room & loved the "Don't kill Bill" t-shirt! I'm sure that Ms. Harris had exciting things to say about Dallas as well. Can't wait to see a picture of that book!
Keep up all the great work - can't thank you enough for it! You are amazing!

amandaokla is just eagerly awaiting MAY!

It did not sound like CH gave away anything specific to her story line for the next book. I am sooo ready for May and book #9.

I hope maybe she will consider coming to Dallas at some point.

cravethyneighbor said...

Ok.. maybe I am a dumb blonde (bought & paid for!), but is this where we're suppose to post for the book?? I'm all the way in Florida. We don't get any of the hot CH action here! :( I will have to live vicariously thru ya'll!

Thank you so much Dallas for going to listen to CH, and letting us live vicariously through you. I'm apparently not smart enough to log in to post, but my Wiki profile is EB_.

Thanks again, and I really enjoyed it.

Love that you both could make it to this even for those of us who live too far away!! Exciting :)

Kristin said...

Dallas, I thought I already posted to this but I don't see it so...first off, thank you so much for all you do, we all love this site and love your radio show...I think that's evident :)

And thank you so much for the video clips of CH. Anything that can bring us more insight into that talented woman's head is a blessing.

We love you!

Great job with the updates and info! I can't wait for book 9 to drop, thanks to all of the ongoing buzz you keep posting on your blog.

FangsNRoses said...

Wow! You are really enjoying life, aren't you? Thanks for bringing us all the information about our favorite show (or should i say "obsession"). Next time you take one of these trips, can I ride in the sidecar?

Unknown said...

This is the best site for me to keep up with True Blood and Sookie Stackhouse books news, articles, photos. You do an excellent job with it. The books and the show are just phenomenal.

TruRomantic said...

I love True Blood and don't know how I will survive until August waiting for season 2. Dallas I enjoyed your Mon night show and look forward to next weeks Bill show.

BillohBill said...

Dallas. It sounds like so much fun. I really think you and Object could rent a bus and make money doing tours of Shreveport and Dallas!
Thanks for all your hard work!

Ryan and Megan said...

I am excited to hear/ see all the fun new tid bits and pictures you got for us!

Sounds like you had a great road trip!

Being a true fan of TrueBlood and re-reading all of the Sookie Stackhouse books for the second time (I'm on #6 with Quinn) I can hardly wait for Season 2 to start. I also pre-ordered book #9 and await it's delivery.

Thanks for all you do on this page.

I received all eight novels for my birthday, (end of October), but didn't get a chance to read any of them because of the upcoming holidays. Within the past two weeks, I have devoured the first four and have started Dead As A Doornail. Already, have preordered Charlaine's next novel. Now, if only HBO would put TB back On Demand. These late nights are gruesome! Thanks for keeping us connected.

I am about to start the Sookie Stackhouse Books Series love the show... I'm sure the books will be better...
