For most of the more than 20 years that Charlaine Harris has spent writing mysteries, she fit squarely into that genre. She had her fans, but she was nowhere near a household name. Then, she created a character called Sookie Stackhouse and everything changed. Sookie Stackhouse is now the featured character on HBO's Southern-Gothic vampire hit, True Blood. And Harris, who will release her tenth Sookie Stackhouse book this summer, is a household name.
This May, Harris will also star in her first comic book, as the subject of Bluewater Productions' latest entry in its popular Female Force line of biographical comics. Harris herself participated in Female Force: Charlaine Harris, granting extensive interviews to writer, Kim Sherman. This marks an important first for Bluewater -- Harris is the first celebrity to be interviewed for the Female Force series.
"Gathering first-hand information and feeling the strength that Harris exudes, both personally and professionally, contributed immensely to the originality and authenticity of this Female Force book," said Sherman.
This book is an especially appropriate one for Sherman. Earlier, she wrote Bluewater's Fame: Robert Pattison, profiling the actor who stars as the vampire with a conscience in the hit Twilight movies. In profiling Harris, Sherman is again exploring the world of literary vampires.
Female Force: Charlaine Harris will trace the writer's career from the publication of the lighthearted Aurora Teargarden mysteries to the phenomenon of her vampire-infused Sookie Stackhouse stories.
Nathanlie Ooten provided the interior art for Female Force: Charlaine Harris, while artist Patricio Carbajal provided the cover. The 32-page Female Force: Charlaine Harris retails for $3.99.
