Not to brag or anything, but me and BFF Renee George took Charlaine Harris to dinner this evening. Earlier, we went to Barnes & Noble and picked up copies of FROM DEAD TO WORSE. (I will not read, I will not read, I will not read … I will write, I will write, I will write.) We fed Charlaine before we actually sprang our books on her and forced her to take pictures with us. Muhahahahaha… if only she’d known the true price of that chicken pecan salad. No, really. Charlaine is very nice and we had a lovely time. She showed us pictures from the set of “True Blood,” which begins airing on HBO on September 7th.

Charlaine came to Tulsa on the second day of her book tour for FROM DEAD TO WORSE. She talked a little about her books,answered questions, and then got to signing. Barnes & Noble was PACKED, even though it was raining and under threat of tornado. Just goes to show that Tulsans love them some Charlaine!
