About the author

Charlaine Harris has been a published writer for over forty years. Her first two books were standalones, followed by a long sabbatical when she was having children. Then she began the Aurora Teagarden book, mysteries featuring a short librarian (eventually adapted for Hallmark movies). The darker Lily Bard books came next, about a house cleaner with a dark past and considerable fighting skills.

Tired of abiding by the mystery rules, Harris wrote a novel about a telepathic barmaid that took at least two years to sell. When the book was published, it turned into a best seller, and DEAD UNTIL DARK and the subsequent Sookie books were adapted in Alan Ball's "True Blood" series. At the same time, Harris began the Harper Connelly books. Harper can find the bones of the dead and see their last minute.

When those two series wound to a close, the next three books were about a mysterious town in Texas, called Midnight.

A change in publisher and editor led to Harris's novels about a female gunslinger in an alternate America, Lizbeth Rose. The Gunnie Rose books concluded with the sixth novel.

She's thinking about what to write next.

Reviews

[James Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are a few cozy mystery authors I love and this is one of them. She makes the characters so real. She talks about going to Burger King and then I find myself jonesing for Burger King because the character in her books made it sound so enticing. She is really good at making you not sure who is doing what and how it's all going to work out. I've read every one of the Aurora Teagarden books and I love them all.

Absolutely love how Charmaine Harris brings all of the characters together and has wonderful chemistry and great plot that holds you firmly to the end of all books she writes.

[Wendy Cameron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun read with good characters and familiar if you watch hallmark mystery movies.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loved the series. Only thing I can't understand is why they left book 7 Last Scene Alive out of this boxed set. It was an important part of the series as a whole, but maybe with the Hallmark channel making the series into movies that will change.
