Ni som läst Twilight böckerna har säkert även läst Genom dina ögon av Stephenie Meyer, själv tycker jag att boken är otroligt bra och kan knappt bärga mig tills filmen The Host som är baserad på boken kommer. Därför tänkte jag lägga upp lite bilder från inspelningarna av filmen.

Charlaine Harris har gjort en intervju där hon berättar om den tolvte boken i Sookie Stackhouse serien som släpps på engelska 1 maj 2012. Hon berättat även att hon ska skriva en trettonde bok som kommer bli den sista i Sookie Stackhouse serien.

You just finished writing the twelfth Sookie Stackhouse novel…

The penultimate book, because I'm going to finish with the thirteenth.

Is it tough to finish this series, to let it go?

It's tough to walk away from the money. [Laughs.] Yeah, it is going to be tough.

But you don't have to.

No. I don't have to. But I just felt like I'm finishing the story. I don't have anything left. That's what I've got. I don't want to keep writing when I'm running on empty. I think we all know writers who have continued to write the same characters when they run out of gas apparently. I just don't want to be like that.

You've written plenty of other novels beside the Southern Vampire Mysteries. Do you have a long list of things you've put on the back burner because of Sookie?

Yes, I do. [Laughs.] And honestly it is so exciting to do something different.

How far into the thirteenth Stackhouse novel are you?

Zero! [Laughs.] That's my next project. When I get home I have to go over the copy-edited pages of Sookie 12, which will be out in May. That will freshen up my memory about what I need to do in Sookie 13, to tie everything together. A seemingly impossible task.

I'm sure you've been asked this before, but could you talk about what the twelfth novel will involve?

It's called Deadlocked. It's another extension of her adventures, moving a step forward to resolve many of the issues that are brought up in previous books. She gets kidnapped – you know, the usual mayhem. She gets kidnapped, she has to get out of it. The Fey entry into her life is pretty much wrapped up. She learns a lot more about everything really. She learns a lot in this book, the truth. So it was a challenging book to write, and I tried to keep it on track more as a mystery. But there are just so many loose ends to tie up, it's just incredible. [Laughs.]

Even though Sookie is a mature woman, do you view the entire series, on one level, as a coming-of-age story?

The growth of her character is definitely a major part of the novels, but I wouldn't call it coming-of-age. She's a twenty-six year-old woman. But she certainly becomes worldlier, more aware of the other worlds around her. She's always known what human nature was like, because she's telepathic. Which is kind of a bitter pill to swallow. But she learns how to live with a lot of things, and what she can't live with.

So it's what the story calls for?

Some books are quite romantic. Some books are all about the mystery. Some books are just adventure, because Sookie's moving forward with her life and it's really complicated. Things happen in the werewolf world, the vampire world, the Fey world that impact her directly. So it's just an adventure getting through her day. [Laughs.]

What's your work routine like? Do you have a time of day at which you prefer to write?

I do. I'm very much a creature of routine. I'm really one of the most boring people you'll ever meet. I go to work at 8 in the morning and I work until after my husband leaves for work. I go over to my office and work. I work until 11:30 or 12; I take off for lunch and watch something I've DVR'd the night before. Then I go back to work at 1ish and work until 3, 3:30 or 4; something like that. But a lot of that's isn't real, original creative work, to my dismay, because the bigger your name gets the more the business of being that entity takes over the creative work that put you in that position.

Do you foresee a time when you'll hire a staff to take care of a lot of that business work? Or do you prefer to be more hands on?

There are decisions that I have to make. My agent would never make a decision without checking with me first. You really have to take care of much of that yourself. My assistant does all of the emails, except for my personal ones. My agent handles all the business. But I still have to make up my mind. I still have to decide what my schedule's going to be. I still have to make decisions about the artwork for this or the cover copy for that. It just seems to take up an awful lot of time.

I'm curious about your own taste in the supernatural. What did you gravitate towards as a fan?

Growing up, I read a very wide mixture of books. Anything I could lay my hands on, at the library. My small town was very, very poor. It was very hard to get a selection of books, hardly any of them were science fiction, unfortunately. But I did grow up reading H.P Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe – which was pretty much science fiction in a lot of ways – Ray Bradbury – he's so pure, isn't he? – Poul Anderson… People like that. I did  read them. Though my primary reading choice was mystery eventually, I always read science fiction also

Tänkte även att jag skulle ge lite boktips här på bloggen för alla som är Fantasy galna bokmalar precis som jag, mitt första tips är Vampyr Academin som är skriven av Richelle Mead

Hetsiga, rappkäftade Rose och lugna, eftertänksamma Lisa är bästa vänner. För två år sedan rymde de från sin internatskola St. Vladimir, sedan dess har skolan och vampyrvärlden försökt att spåra dem och föra dem tillbaka till säkerheten i den ensligt belägna och hårt bevakade skolan för vampyrer. Men skolan är inte alls säker för Lisa som har en mycket speciell gåva som många vill utnyttja även om det leder till att Lisa blir skvatt galen eller till och med dör. Men den här gången hinner de inte undan när skolans nya spårare dyker upp...

Detta är en bokserie som handlar om Dhampirer (halvvampyrer), Moroi och Strigori (goda och onda vampyrer). Denna serien är i sex delar:

• TÖRST
• FRUSET BLOD
• SKUGGKYSST
• LÖFTET
• ANDENS KRAFT
• YTTERSTA OFFRET

Hejsan allihopa. 

Nu är det då dags att starta upp min blogg, eftersom det är min första blogg så ber jag er att ha tålamod och det vore väldigt roligt att få tips och ideer om vad ni vill att jag ska lägga upp här på bloggen, ni kan maila till mig på vampyrer-att-alska@live.se.

Det kommer att bli vampyrer, vampyrer och åter vampyrer här på bloggen blandat med lite annan härlig fantasy förstås. :)
