Interview: Michael, Lorrie and Michael welcome Charlaine Harris to the studio, to discuss the newest in her Sookie Stackhouse series, From Dead to Worse. Lorrie has become newly addicted to the series, and Charlaine tells us about creating a world that melds real people with supernatural beings and abilities so smoothly.
We also hear a little about the upcoming HBO series based on the books, “True Blood”, and the excitement about the cast and filming is high. The series will start on Sunday, September 7, starring Anna Paquin as Sookie, and in the hands of Alan Ball, we’re in for a great show.
