Charlaine's dedication of "From Dead to Worse " to her mom:
Though she can’t walk or see quite as well as she used to, my mother, Jean Harris, remains the most complete person I have ever met. She’s been the bulwark of my existence, the foundation I was built on, and the best mother a woman could have.

Event Cockburn, Australia : Calling all True Blood & Sookie Stackhouse fans
The True Blood is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries series (aka Sookie Stackhouse novels) written by Charlaine Harris. There are 11 books in this series of vampire books:
The library has season 1 and season 2 of True Blood on DVD.

Is ‘Being Human’ better than ‘True Blood’?
I just finished watching the season 2 finale of “Being Human” on BBC America. It was miles better than the season 3 finale of “True Blood.”
“Being Human” hasn’t gotten off track (yet) with heaps of new characters and subplots. It still focuses mostly on the three supes: Vampire Mitchell (the smoldering Aidan Turner, who could rival any hottie on “True Blood”), ghost Annie (the beautiful and perfect Lenora Crichlow, whom I loved in “Collision” on PBS) and werewolf George (adorably nerdy Russell Tovey and his ears, which deserve separate billing).

Vampire books like Twilight may be affecting teens' minds
"We don't know exactly how literature affects the brain, but we know that it does," Live Science quoted Maria Nikolajeva of Cambridge University as saying.
"Some new findings have identified spots in the brain that respond to literature and art," she said.
Previously, scientists, authors and educators met in Cambridge for a conference organised by Nikolajeva to discuss how young-adult books and movies affect teenagers' minds.
"For young people, everything is so strange, and you cannot really say why you react to things - it's a difficult period to be a human being," said Nikolajeva.

True Blood Becoming A Movie?
WHAT!!!??
Whats Playing says there’s talk around the network of transitioning the series into the world of feature films, maybe after another season or two of television. Details are sparse but their sources say they hope to get True Blood: The movieup and running “sooner rather than later” and that series creator Alan Ball may be determined to direct it himself.
Ball’s feature film directing experience is limited, but he’s had plenty of practice at making television look cinematic. The show, visually at least, flat out looks like something that’s meant to be up on the big screen. It’ll work as long as HBO’s willing to let fly with a hard-R rating. True Blood trades in the ridiculous, whether it’s over the top violence or out of control freaky sex, and if they’re taking the show to theaters the MPAA’s probably not going to be their friend.
Coming up with a properly cinematic story should be no problem and True Blood doesn’t shy away from action and wild special effects, just imagine what they could do with a movie-sized budget. The story of Sookie Stackhouse and vampire Bill could work on the big screen at least as well as it works on television, assuming you think it works at all.
