Sookie book 9 and beyond- some Charlaine comments

Now one of the most important things you can know about Charlaine Harris is that she reserves the right to change her mind about anything at any time but I thought you might think it was interesting to read a few of her most recent posts from her chat area

Well, you all make me feel great, and you give me a great incentive to work. I do know who Sookie will end up with as a life partner, but I am taking some byways to get there. So if anyone is counting on that wrapping up in the next book, please understand that won't happen. Thanks so much, all of you.

Book ten will be a year after book nine. But there will be a Sookie novella next year, too.

(about books being perfect) There are some writers who take a whole year or even two to write a book. Doubtless if I took that much time, I would have an error-free book, and maybe a much better book. But I'd be bored.

I don't think the next book will be the final resolution of Sookie's suitor choice.

I've written the first third of it ( sookie bk10) . But I'm restarting it, because the opening thread was going nowhere.

Thanks for enjoying the book. I'll end the series when I can't think of anything else I want to say about Sookie and her world, and it doesn't make any difference to me what the book count is then.

The character's growth is a natural one, if anything in writing can be termed natural. The action dictates the changes, and the changes affect Sookie's reaction to the action. It is a natural process.
