GODA NYHETER - TRUE BLOOD BÖCKERNA PÅ SVENSKA

En bit ur 'Deadlocked'


Handlingen till boken ''Deadlook''

Nu har handlingen släppts till den 12:e boken i Sookie Stackhouse serien som True Blood är baserad på. Böckerna är skrivna av Charlaine Harris och ''Deadlock'' kommer släppas Maj 2012.
With Felipe de Castro, the Vampire King of Louisiana (and Arkansas and Nevada), in town, it’s the worst possible time for a body to show up in Eric Northman’s front yard — especially the body of a woman whose blood he just drank.
Now, it’s up to Sookie and Bill, the official Area Five investigator, to solve the murder. Sookie thinks that, at least this time, the dead girl’s fate has nothing to do with her. But she is wrong. She has an enemy, one far more devious than she would ever suspect, who’s out to make Sookie’s world come crashing down.
JAG LÄNGTAR SÅ EFTER BOKEN! Tycker verkligen böckerna är bra! Alla som inte läst borde verkligen göra det. Jag tycker själv att det är ganska stor skillnad mellan böckerna och tv serien.

Charlaine Harris avslöjar namnen på de sista böckerna SPOILERS

Charlaine Harris was interviewed recently during the Canadian convention, Polaris 25. Apart from giving us a tentative title for the last two books in the series, she teases fans about the end of the books. Really Charlaine, I don’t think you ever need to hide after the wonderful characters you have written for us!
E&S Lovers: Currently, you’re writing Sookie book 12…at this point of the book, what would you title it, if you had the final say?
CH: Dead Locked. Possibly the last book would be Dead End.
E&S Lovers: To promote the Sookie 12 and 13 books, will you consider touring Canada as well?
CH: I won’t say no for Book 12, but Book 13, I would go into hiding. I’m afraid of the backlash that will wave over the fans, if it doesn’t end the way people want me to finish it. I know, I can’t please everyone…but I want to stay true to how I want it to end.

Charlaine Harris’ svarar på frågor om hennes nya bok, Dead Reckoning

Charlaine Harris’ nya bok, Dead Reckoning, kommer ut denhär veckan och hon har svarat på vissa frågor till TVNZ.
Can you tell us a little bit about your latest novel in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Dead Reckoning?
Charlaine: Yes, a little. My books aren’t long enough to share a lot! Dead Reckoning deals with Sookie learning about her heritage, the struggles of the fae left in our world, and the vampires of Louisiana coping (or not) with the new regime.
The books are getting noticeably darker in tone as they progress, especially after Sookie’s traumatic experiences in Dead and Gone. Were you influenced by the TV series to go a little darker or was it always planned?
I don’t see the show as darker than the books. All the bad things that happen in the books happen on “True Blood,” though perhaps the TV show has even MORE stuff. I knew that as Sookie was drawn in more and more into vampire politics, the books would get darker.
What do you think of True Blood and Alan Ball’s interpretation of the world you created?
I think Alan is a genius, and I’m always excited to see what he’s put up on the screen.
Clearly you’re on Team Eric in the books but has Stephen Moyer managed to sway you back towards Bill at all?
I dislike the idea of teams. The story I’m telling is Sookie’s, and since all the characters come from my head, it’s not like I could “favour” one of them more than the other.
Which character has been your favourite to write for?
Pam is always fun to write, but there again, there are always fun moments with any character.
How do you feel about the worldwide popularity of your books? Did you ever think you would win fans as far away as New Zealand?
No, it still seems incredible to me to think of people reading my books all across the world. I could never have foreseen this.
What did you think when you found out a New Zealand girl, Anna Paquin, was going to be playing Sookie?
I was very excited that an actor of her stature was interested in the role.
What's your current reading obsession?
I have so many. I reread Barbara Pym often, which may seem odd. I'm also a huge fan of Lee Child, Jim Butcher, Naomi Novik, Sarah Monette. . . . a very long list.

Citat från ''Dead Reckoning'' SPOILERS
Ett citat från boken ''Dead Reckoning'' som kommer ut i Maj:

“I laid my hand on Pam’s shoulder and patted her. It was like patting a rock. I smiled at Ana Lyudmila. “Hi,” I said, perky as a cheerleader on uppers. “I’m Sookie. I’m married to Eric, I guess you didn’t know that? And this is Pam, Eric’s child and his strong right arm. I guess you didn’t know that, either? Cause otherwise, not greeting us appropriately is just plain rude.” I beamed at her.´´

Dåliga nyheter - Böckerna på svenska
Så här skrev de:
Dessvärre måste jag meddela att vi, efter att ha utvärderat utgivningen av de fem första delarna, bestämt oss för att inte fortsätta med serien. Det kan hända att någon annan svensk utgivare gör det, men i så fall ligger det nog ganska långt fram i tiden. Tills vidare hänvisar vi till de engelskspråkiga utgåvorna.
Jättetråkigt eftersom många av er har frågat om böckerna. Vi får bara hoppas att någon annan svensk utgivare översätter böckerna istället!

Charlaine Harris pratar om Sookie Stackhouse böckerna

Författaren Charlaine Harris som har skrivit Sookie Stackhose novellerna som True Blood serien är baserad på berättar för La Times att det ''troligen'' bara kommer bli två till böcker efter den 12:e...
“Dead Reckoning,” the 12th installment in author Charlaine Harris‘ Sookie Stackhouse mystery series, is set to arrive this May — not long before the hit TV series inspired by the franchise, HBO’s “True Blood,” returns for a fourth season — but the novelist now is looking ahead to the conclusion of her long-running saga.
“Truthfully, the next two books will probably be the last two books in the series,” Harris said last week. “I still love Sookie, but I’m beginning to want to write something else, and Sookie’s kind of taken over my life. I was able to write other things for the first few years I was involved in Sookie, but then after the start of the television show she took over so much of my time because of my increased publicity obligations that it’s been very hard to write other things, and I really need to do that.”
Harris says even though she’s a regular viewer of the show, she sometimes is surprised by how graphic it can be, particularly when it comes to the amorous adventures of Sookie’s brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten).
“Of course, the television shows things that I only allude to,” Harris said. “I’ve had some moments where I have kind of covered my eyes a little bit. My gosh, there is a huge amount of skin. I guess I just don’t see that when I’m writing so much. In the books, you know Jason’s a horndog, you know that, but knowing it and seeing it are two different experiences.”
“I think all the actors are very fun,” she said. “I think Alan’s genius lies in picking the right person for the right role. They’re all talented and doing a great job. There are some plot lines that have surprised me, but I know that they know where they’re going — I just don’t know because it’s not where I went. So I can only wait to see what’s going to develop.”
Read the rest and find out what other projects Charlaine is working on in the LA Times.
