YOUR CHANCE TO ASK ALAN BALL A QUESTION

1/29/10 – 2/12/10

As part of the huge project The Sookie Companion has become, we’re offering a two-week time period in which you can send your questions to producer/director/writer Alan Ball, who will answer them in the Companion. My assistant, Paula, will collect all your questions and send them to the editor at TeknoBooks who’s responsible for coordinating all the elements going into the Companion, which we hope will be out next year. Paula and the editor will weed out redundant questions. Of course, these questions should focus on the TV series “True Blood,” and they should be sent to: askalanb@yahoo.com. This address is ONLY for this special project.

The first chapter of Dead In The Family has been posted on Charlaine Harris’s site.  To read it click here.  Once you’ve read it feel free to tell us what you think!

You know you’re going to have to wait until the next book to find out more about Sookie’s reaction to the marriage. And I’ll put up the beginning of the next book within the next week and a half. The question about the timing of the next book is harder to answer, since the first pages of it skip over several weeks, hitting down every now and then.

Dead in the Family is due May 4, 2010.

So, yes I know that we know that Sookie and Eric will have sex in Book 10. But listen here to what Charlaine thinks of other authors in the genre, of Sookie the character and what she thinks of Eric. Also, about Bill surviving the series.

Thanks to David B. from the podcast for the info.

P.S. Sooooooooooooooo, I was just talking to Tamara and I wanted to know what you think about her feelings about Eric Northman. Do you think these comments hint at what may happen with Eric and Sookie? Maybe Eric will mess up so badly that Sookie will not even think of Eric as anything more than a person she has to work with. What do you think?

During the 2009 BoucherCon, Austin Lugar had the chance to sit down and talk to Charlaine Harris, author of the Sookie Stackhouse series. In it they talk about paranormal mysteries, True Blood, and whether or not Harris is cool.

“I’ve signed a contract to write three more after the one that’s coming out in May, and they may be the last three,” Harris told CNN. “Probably by then I will have lived with Sookie long enough.”

Harris said she doesn’t want to keep the books going if Sookie’s stories start feeling played out. “I hope I have enough sense to walk away before that happens.”

Okay… well we have three more years after May and then we may finally get to see Sookie have her fairy tale ending… or whatever…
