About Spotlight Guest Charlaine Harris:
#1 New York Times bestselling author
Charlaine Harris has been a published novelist for thirty years. Charlaine began writing mystery series—the
Aurora Teagarden series and the much darker
Lily Bard series—but then went on to write
Dead Until Dark
which broke genre boundaries to appeal to a wide audience of people
who just enjoy a good adventure. Each subsequent book about Sookie
Stackhouse, telepathic barmaid and friend to vampires, werewolves, and
various other odd creatures, has drawn more readers.
The Southern Vampire books are published in twenty languages. They are also the basis of
True Blood, the HBO series produced by Alan Ball (
Six Feet Under) and starring Golden Globe winner Anna Paquin in the role of Sookie. Charlaine also writes the Harper Connelly series.
About Literary Featured Guests:
Rachel Caine is
The New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author of the
Morganville Vampires, Weather Warden, and
Outcast Season
novels, among many others. She grew up in the badlands outside of El
Paso, Texas. General Sheridan famously said, "If I owned Texas and
Hell, I would rent out Texas and live in Hell." Rachel's trying her
best, with the
Morganville series, to prove him right. (But still, she does lives in Fort Worth, Texas. Not Hell.)
Christina Henry is the author of the
Black Wings
series and enjoys running long distances, reading anything she can get
her hands on and watching movies with subtitles in her spare time.
Henry used to work in a comic book store and as a result, has boxes of
bagged and boarded comics in her attic. She lives in Chicago with her
husband and son, and can be found on the web at
www.christinahenry.net.
Mari Mancusi
used to wish she could become a vampire back in high school. But she
ended up in another blood sucking profession—journalism—instead. Today
she writes books for teens and adults. When not writing about creatures
of the night, Mari enjoys traveling, cooking, goth clubbing, watching
cheesy horror movies, and her favorite guilty pleasure—videogames. A
graduate of Boston University and a two time Emmy Award winner, she
lives in Austin, Texas with her husband Jacob, daughter Avalon and dog
Mesquite. You can find Mari online at
www.bloodcovenvampires.com.
Chloe Neill was born and raised in the South, but now makes her home in the Midwest. Chloe is the author of the fan-favorite and
The New York Times bestselling
Chicagoland Vampires series.
She watches entirely too much television, roots for her favorite
college football team, and believes, however unlikely, that she’ll one
day finish a half-marathon. You can learn about Chloe Neill and
Chicago’s vampires at
www.chloeneill.com.
Veronica Wolff,
once an aspiring art historian, is an award-winning, bestselling
author with a soft spot for kilts and vampires. Known for her Scottish
historical romances, she now writes a young adult series called
The Watchers as well as an adult contemporary romance series called
Sierra Falls.
She has lived everywhere from Texas, to Hawaii, to India, finally
settling in Northern California where she lives with her husband, two
kids, and a houseful of pets. Her unmarketable skills include
snowboarding, speaking Hindi, gardening, and knowing an alarming amount
of pop-culture trivia.
Maybe those strangers over there know something. It's probably just the air pressure playing tricks on you. Then again, it could have something to do with those sinister fluttering sounds in your ear...or that massive, dark structure that wasn't there yesterday...
Our fourth Deathscribe of 2012 takes you to the Chicago of your fever dreams, where many things are as they were but nothing is as it should be. Three strangers in the city latch onto each other in attempt to retain their sanity, and try to make sense of this nightmare-scape the only way they know how, by COMPARING NOTES AT THE END OF THE WORLD.
