Charlaine Harris Schulz began her writing career with Sweet and Deadly in 1981 and has since published over 200 books. She is best known for the Sookie Stackhouse series, which follows a telepathic waitress in small-town Louisiana who gets drawn into the world of vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. The series ran for thirteen novels and was adapted by HBO as the television show True Blood.
Before Sookie Stackhouse, Harris established herself in the mystery genre with the Aurora Teagarden and Lily Bard series. Aurora Teagarden is a librarian who keeps stumbling into murder investigations in her small Georgia town, while the Lily Bard books follow a woman rebuilding her life in Shakespeare, Arkansas. The Harper Connelly series adds a supernatural element to the mystery formula, with a protagonist who can find dead bodies and see how they died. Her more recent work includes the Midnight, Texas trilogy (also adapted for television) and the Gunnie Rose alternate history series, which imagines a fractured United States where magic and gunslinging coexist.
