Best-selling author Charlaine Harris in New Zealand

Fans of HBO series True Blood and lovers of the Sookie Stackhouse novels the show is based on are in for a treat when Charlaine Harris’ NZ tour kicks off with a Dominion Post Write Stuff event this Sunday afternoon.

While tickets to her Auckland event are no longer available, there is still time for Wellington fans if they act quickly.

Charlaine Harris, author of the bestselling series of books which spawned the critically‐acclaimed TV show, is touring New Zealand for the first time. Charlaine, who’s been a published novelist for more than 25 years, has become a publishing phenomenon due to the runaway success of the TV series, and she is now a permanent fixture on the New York Times bestsellers list. She broke literary conventions and helped define a new genre with Dead Until Dark, the first in the Sookie Stackhouse series, featuring a telepathic Louisiana barmaid who is friend to vampires, werewolves and various other odd creatures.
