Charlaine Harris is an American author who has written numerous mystery and urban fantasy novels. She is best known for the Sookie Stackhouse series, which became the basis for the HBO television series True Blood.
Born in 1951 in Tunica, Mississippi, Harris grew up in the Mississippi River Delta area. She began writing as a teenager and published her first novel, Sweet and Deadly, in 1981. For years she wrote traditional mysteries, including the Aurora Teagarden series about a Georgia librarian who solves murders.
In 2001, Harris shifted to urban fantasy with Dead Until Dark, introducing telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse and a world where vampires have revealed themselves to humanity. The series ran for thirteen novels and became a New York Times bestseller. HBO adapted it as True Blood, which ran from 2008 to 2014 and brought Harris’s work to a much wider audience.
Harris continues to write across genres. Her Midnight, Texas series, about a small town full of supernatural residents, was also adapted for television. She lives in Texas with her husband.
