Charlaine Harris, beloved author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, took time out of her busy schedule to call in to True-Blood.net Radio live on Friday, May 14, to talk about Dead in the Family. She answered a few questions about the book for us, talked about visiting the set of True Blood, gave us some sneak peeks at upcoming short stories, and even revealed a tantalizing tidbit about book 11! Listen to the conversation below and join in the discussion in the Comments section.

I want to see the clips of her son! Way cool!
I’m so sad she didn’t come to Chicago on her book tour. Not cool!
I kno! whats the point of living in this city if ya cant get the good stuff
Mewhahaha! She IS coming here
5 mins from my house. I’m deffinately going.
yeah! i want to see the clips of her son, too!
She’s great-down to earth. Dying to know what will happen with Eric. If indeed Victor is a big threat-I wonder if Eric will eventually get killed. It also occurred to me that Sookie could maybe get things going with Hunter’s dad.
I want to see clips of her son too. That’s terrific!
What a beautiful accent Charlaine has!
Something that bothered me is Niall is an irish name. it is not pronounced NI_ALL it is pronounced NILE like in the river
being irish myself it bothers me a little…. but she seems so lovely i’ll let it slip
If she kills Eric, that is the end of my interest in the books for me.ERIC IS ALL I CARE ABOUT….
The story is what matters most. Without it the characters mean nothing.
