Charlaine Harris Hits the Road

She’ll be at Comic-Con in San Diego later in July with the cast of a hit TV show. She’ll be in Australia in September with the cast of that same hit TV show. But she’ll be on her own when she signs and reads from her new novel, Dead in the Family (Ace), at the Tunica Museum on July 11th and at the Hernando (Mississippi) Public Library on July 12th.

Dead in the Family sits on The New York Times‘ best-seller list for fiction. Her coming title, a co-edited collection of stories by a company of authors and called Death’s Excellent Vacation (Ace), is due the first week of August, and “she” is Charlaine Harris — Tunica native, Rhodes College alum, Magnolia, Arkansas, resident, and very prolific and very successful author of, among a long list of fantastic tales, the Sookie Stackhouse Southern vampire series, which happens to be the source material for True Blood, the very successful HBO series.

But who, in her own words, is Charlaine Harris?
