SOOKIE!

I am a Charlaine Harris addict. Yes, I watch HBO's version of True Blood with a passion, (I mean who can resist all of those wonderful, lively characters?) and I read and have re-read the books the series is based on to make sure I have all my bases covered for when a new book comes out. This year is a BIG publishing year for Mrs. Harris And her devoted readers! I am proud to announce several up coming publications in the Sookie universe!



First up is "DEAD RECKONING" which is due out May 2011. She has yet to post any kind of a synopsis, but you can go to http://www.charlaineharris.com/DeadReck_1.html to read the first chapter of the book which is 19 pages. It begins with Sookie cleaning out her attic then moves onto her shift at the bar which starts out normally but as usual in the world of Sookie ends up haywire.


If you are a fan of the Sookie Stackhouse books you are very familiar with the beautiful art work that graces the covers. The artist Lisa Desimini is now selling prints of the Sookie Stackhouse art work on her website, www.lisadesimini.com , the paying option is through Pay pal.



August 2011 will bring the "Home Improvement: the undead edition", which is a collection of short stories by various authors and includes a new Sookie Stackhouse story. There is also no synopsis posted yet for this book.




Out in September 2011 is the Sookie Stackhouse Companion Book which will include an all NEW novella and an interview with the HBO True Blood director Allen Ball. This will help you keep track of all of those fairies, werewolves and vampires!


If you are new to the Sookie world books 1-10 are for sale and you can also watch HBO's True Blood seasons 1 and 2, season 3 has yet to be released on DVD and Blue Ray, and season 4 is slated to start airing this summer.

Soon to be released

Since True Blood on HBO is over till NEXT June, which to me seems eternally long, for those of us addicted to Vampires but will not be reduced to watching teen aged vampires struggling through puberty there is hope.


The last Sookie Stackhouse novel that was published was in May, if your eager for more and can't wait till June help yourself to the box set of Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, it is available through Amazon.com for $32.71 for books
1-7, so far in print there are 10 books total. Come October 6 2009 book number 11 of the series will be published it is titled, "Touch of Dead" and is available for pre-order in HARDBACK edition only for $12.93, or the Kindle edition for $9.99.


Mrs. Harris also has a short Sookie Stackhouse story printed in the book titled "Bite" which also features Laura K. Hamilton among other writers. This short story covers a period of time that is not covered in her books, but if have read all of the books and felt like you missed something, well it's in this short story. It is also available on Amazon.com for purchase for $7.99.

Another one of my favorite writers is Kresley Cole. She has a wonderful series of books called the "Immortals after dark series", so far there are 7 full books in the series that feature everything from werewolves, vampires, demons, to shield maidens. I was hooked with the very first book called "Hunger like no other" and I have been hooked ever since. I have read "Hunger" at least 10 times and that means that my copy is very worn. Which is rare for me.


On OCTOBER 13, 2009 Kresley Cole and Gena Showater are publishing a book together. It will feature two stories, one by each author, for the price of one. Kresley Cole's half of the book will feature Murdoch Wroth and Daniela the Ice Maiden.
Gena Showater's will feature Aleaha Love. The book is titled "DEEP KISS OF WINTER" and is available for per-order from amazon.com for the price of $11.87 for hardcover, and I am unsure if this title will be released for Kindle.

Hopefully these titles will help get you through the gloomiest of winter days, and spice up your life. I can't wait to fill my shopping cart to the brim with them!
