Hi Charmaine ... First off I have to say I love Sookie's books I own them all in paperback format. 🥰 My question is probably an odd one but I have already written two stories in this genre and know there is a need to not empathize too much with the grim situations your characters are faced with. Have you ever had characters that made it challenging to not to feel guilty for what you put them through?
Charlaine Harris
Oh, I feel guilty all the time! But I do it, anyway. If I think it's awful, readers will think it's awful, I figure. And I don't want to be scared of running my characters through a wringer . . . because that happens in real life. It's how the character rises to the occasion that's the key to redemption.

Wow! Finally a week away for the debut of Midnight, Texas on NBC. I know it will be different from the book series but that's ok. I was wondering what are you working on now? I know about the Aurora Teagarden book due this fall. I've preordered it, but are you working on something new. (It's not like you deserve time off...but?)
