Here is an excerpt from the interview:
BBB: What are the most challenging and the most rewarding aspects of writing?
CH: Challenges? Every day is a challenge. I hate to use a sea metaphor, but being a writer is like being the entire crew of a large ship. To extend that, when you reach your destination in one piece . . . that’s a great reward.
BBB: Do you consider different books paranormal romance or urban fantasy? and do you think it is important to distinguish between the two?
CH: It’s not important to me personally, no. But to the people shelving the books it’s quite important, because readers are looking for a book skewed more to romance or more to adventure, and they want to look in the right place.

Sookie Stackhouse has finally settled into a relationship with the Viking vampire Eric, and her errant brother Jason seems to have his life in order, too.

Anita Blake to become a movie
IGN has an article saying IFC, in conjunction with Lionsgate, will be producing its first ever TV movie which will be based on the “Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter” book series. The Anita Blake series is written by Laurell K. Hamilton. Anita Blake is a vampire hunter who also works as a police consultant investigating supernatural crimes.
I own this entire series and absolutely loved the first like 9 books. Then it turned into nothing but sex which was disappointing because the series really was paranormal greatness up to that point.
The movie will be based on the first books in the series that deal with the paranormal so I am super excited about this movie. I think it will be great.
Get Anita Blake books at Amazon.
