Eric would still have been Eric, in that scenario, and I think he would have come to hate Sookie for turning him human. But it's an interesting idea.

Lynn, my Gunnie Rose books are full of witchcraft and magic, as well as a lot of gun fighting. There are six of them, so you can enjoy. I don't know that I'll ever write vampires again. But I'm looking forward to what comes next.
Charlaine Harris
Thanks, Susan. My publisher determined this would be the last Gunnie Rose book, but that having been said, it certainly has a huge ending. I'll be writing something new, and having a good time, as always. Thanks for reading and listening to my work.

The company that made the game quit doing original work, so the sequel got sidelined. I was just as disappointed as you were.
Charlaine Harris
Thanks. I hope you've also enjoyed my most recent series, the Gunnie Rose books. I have thought of a spin off book, but I really haven't plotted one. The Midnight Texas books contained one or two of the characters from Sookie series.
Charlaine Harris
That's great to hear. I am so lucky to have loyal readers.
Charlaine Harris
Hi, Sheena. So glad you have enjoyed the books. "The Last Wizards' Ball" will be out in July 2025. I hope you like it.
Charlaine Harris
Thanks, I really enjoyed writing those books. The publisher has made it clear they don't want anymore Midnight books, but maybe someday I'll write one for myself.
Charlaine Harris
I'd enjoy writing another book about them, but I'd have to see if my original publisher would want it. I'm not going to say "never" on that one.
Charlaine Harris
I can't say that's my favorite genre, but I do love "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
Charlaine Harris
Sure. Glad to talk to you.
Charlaine Harris
I'm not sure I understand, Nellie. Can you explain?
Charlaine Harris
The television show had its own goals and its own writers. They made the choices.
Charlaine Harris
To clarify, I didn't write the show. I wrote the books. She is a character in the books, yes. She's a maenad.
Charlaine Harris
I don't think I'll ever write another Sookie book. There are six books in my current series, the Gunnie Rose books. You might want to give those a try, if you haven't already.
Charlaine Harris
Sheena, thanks. I have lots of readers who reread the series once a year. If you don't enjoy rereading, I have lots of other books in print you might enjoy.
Charlaine Harris
Yes. "The Last Wizards' Ball" will be out in July of next year.
Charlaine Harris
There are no plans for more Harper books right now. I would enjoy writing another one, I think, but I have quite a lot on my schedule right now; plus, the publisher would have to be willing, too.
Charlaine Harris
Not exactly, but I've known a number of surprising older women who were tied into their community in multiple ways, but still had original characters. Gran provided Sookie with stability in the years she needed it most.
Charlaine Harris
I loved the samples of her work I'd seen. If this edition does well, maybe Grim Oak will consider others.
