Congratulations to Charlaine Harris! Read the following from the New York Times

Vampire-Loving Barmaid Hits Jackpot for Charlaine Harris.
New york times article - "had just heard that the latest book in the series, “Dead and Gone,” would make its debut on the New York Times hardcover fiction best-seller list this Sunday in the No. 1 spot. It was a first for Ms. Harris, who has published 26 novels in nearly three decades and sold the original book in the Sookie series, “Dead Until Dark,” for just $5,000 nine years ago..."

Here's something a bit different Vampires of Potts Point. Blogger Stephen Blackwell calls it "a vampire fiction blog containing gradually interweaving storylines - a kind of fiction experiment - but also consisting of easily read posts for instant gratification (at least that is the plan)." It's certainly worth time to take a look.
