Will Charlaine Harris Create a Spinoff?

In an interview with Augusta, Georgia’s Metro Spirit, Charlaine Harris gives us a glimpse of what she might do after Sookie’s story ends:

And the show is only on its third season. The characters have plenty of sexy stories left to tell, and Harris has plenty of books left to write. She plans 13, in all, of the Sookie chronicles, and will decide after book 11 whether to continue the universe by spinning off and exploring one of the other characters.

“I’ll know by then if I’m ready to head towards the stable with Sookie or not,” Harris said. “I’ve loved writing her adventures, but I don’t want it to get stale.”

After 13 books, Sookie’s story will most likely have reached a resolution, although what it will be is anyone’s guess. If Charlaine does decide to continue writing about the Sookieverse in a spinoff series, which character(s) do you think she’ll focus on?

This interview was in advance of Charlaine’s appearance at the Columbia County Library on January 23. For more information, and to read the entire interview, visit Metro Spirit.
