Personally, Harris is married and the mother of three. She is a member of the board of Sisters in Crime, and alternates with Joan Hess as president of the Arkansas Mystery Writers Alliance. Professionally, Harris is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the American Crime Writers League. The anthologies feature stories with an element of the supernatural, and the submissions come from a rare mixture of mystery and urban fantasy writers. Harris has also co-edited three very popular anthologies with her friend Toni L.P. There are now three Harper titles (GRAVE SIGHT, GRAVE SURPRISE, AN ICE COLD GRAVE) with a 4th (GRAVE SECRET) to be released in 2009. Harper has the ability to determine the cause of death of any body. In October 2005, Harris's new mystery series about a young woman named Harper Connelly debuted with the release of Grave Sight. It was an instant success and was quickly picked up for a second season. He wrote and directed the pilot episode for that series, True Blood, which premiered in September of 2008. Sookie Stackhouse proved to be so popular that Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, announced he would undertake the production of a new show for HBO based upon the books.
The series, which now numbers nine titles, has been released worldwide.
This is the be all and end all new series for Charlaine Harris fans (and by fans I do mean people who are familiar with more than just her ‘Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire’ HBO-adapted series). Each book follows Sookie as she tries to solve mysteries involving vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. ‘Midnight Crossroad’ is the first book in a new cozy mystery series by Charlaine Harris, called ‘Midnight, Texas’. The first of these, Dead Until Dark, won the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery in 2001. After Shakespeare, Harris created The Sookie Stackhouse urban fantasy series about a telepathic waitress who works in a bar in the fictional Northern Louisiana town of Bon Temps.
