The Child Formerly Known As….

May 18, 2012 in Deadlocked - Book 12, Secondary Characters, Southern Vampire Mysteries

EOC (Eric’s Other Child), now has a name! And she shall be called….”Karin”. With an “i”.

Thank the goddess we don’t have to keep calling her EOC for the next 10 months.

Ms Harris confirmed the name on her forum earlier today.

I will reveal Eric’s other child’s name. It’s Karin.

Charlaine Harris

While this may hardly be newsworthy for some, those of us who have already spent too much time talking about this woman (and will likely spend much time discussing her in the future!), are quite thrilled to at least have something to call her by!

Karin was first mentioned by Pam in All Together Dead, and mentioned a second time by Niall in Deadlocked. A brief summary of what we know of her to date:

  • She’s female (Pam)
  • She left Eric to strike out on her own (Pam)
  • As a vampire, she doesn’t “rival her maker” (Niall)
  • Thanks to Eric & Sookie Lovers for the heads up.

    Deadlocked – #1 on the NYT Bestseller List

    May 15, 2012 in Book 7 - All Together Dead, Deadlocked - Book 12, Southern Vampire Mysteries

    Some wonderful news for Charlaine Harris today, with the release of the New York Times Bestseller List for the week ending May 5, 2012.

    Deadlocked has entered the hardcover fiction list as the top seller for the week. This continues an amazing run on the list, which has seen every Sookie book since All Together Dead (2007) debut in the top 10, and every book since Dead and Gone debut at number 1.

    Congratulations Charlaine, this is a remarkable achievement and one to be proud of.

    In other news, Ms Harris officially confirmed on Facebook today that the title of the final Sookie will be “Dead Ever After”, and the release date will be May 7, 2013.

    Mark your calendars, pencil in some time off, and book an appointment with your shrink. Next May is going to be huge!

    The Truth Hurts – Charlaine Harris talks to SciFi Now

    May 13, 2012 in Uncategorized

    There are plenty of things I could say about the interview Charlaine has given to UK Mag, SciFi Now.

    But I’m saying nothing, because superlatives really aren’t required.

    Just read this shit, roll around in it for a bit, and AND SAVOUR THE DAMN MOMENT.

    If Alan Ball had kept his mouth shut, no one would have ever known about it…I don’t even want to go into [how Bill died] because every time I think about it I get mad at Alan. We’ve had such a great relationship, and that’s the only time I’ve ever gotten peeved at him.”

    If only Alan Ball had done (or not done) a lot of things. I’m willing to bet that’s not the only time she’s ever gotten peeved at him.

    “I try and stay away from it because even though I like to hear what the readers think, it’s not going to change any decisions. I think the TV series has had an influence over how people want it to end, because some readers are really in love with the TV depiction, and that may not match the characters that I actually wrote.”

    What? What the hell now? The tv depiction of certain characters doesn’t match the characters that she actually wrote? Surely not! Charlaine might not have been joking when she said she’s heading into hiding after the last book. Some people just aren’t reading the books she’s writing…indeed.

    I reclaim our beloved books from you, Ball…but keep talking, Charlaine, because it’s music to my ears.

    Thanks to luvtheviking for the scans.

    You Can’t Always Get What You Want…

    May 4, 2012 in Blood Ties and Blood Bonds, Character & Plot Analysis, Deadlocked - Book 12, Eric Northman, Sookie & Eric, Sookie Stackhouse, Southern Vampire Mysteries

    It’s been a huge week! With so much fabulous discussion over the past few days, and so much new stuff to talk about, it’s been tough just trying to decide where to start. So, I figured we’d begin with the elephant in the room – Eric’s betrothal to Freyda. What does Freyda really want, is this union as inevitable as Deadlocked would have us believe, and if we grant the basic premise that Eric genuinely doesn’t want to leave with Freyda – what will it take to send this pushy bitch packing?

    It was impossible to miss in Deadlocked – a triumvirate of evil, to borrow from that other guy.   Constant reiteration of the inevitability of this union, reinforcement of Eric’s compatibility with Freyda and the repeated suggestion that Eric has a hard-on for power; an idea that has been actively quashed in earlier books.   Keep Reading…
