ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Paula Woldan, Danna Woldan, Lauren Dodson, Victoria Koski, Debi Murray, Beverly Battillo, Denise Little, and Rachel Klika volunteered their skills and talents in assembling various parts of this book. My gratitude to them for their vision and hard work. I also appreciate the enthusiasm of the many readers who submitted questions for me and Alan Ball, and recipes for the cooking section. I wish we could have included every single one.
PREFACE
The World of Sookie Stackhouse
S ookie and I go back a long way. Were practically sisters. Many years ago, when my mystery career was languishing, I thought it might be a good idea to shake up my writing style by trying something new. It might be fun to write a book that contained all the elements I loved: mystery, the supernatural, bloody adventure, and a dash of romance. And since people had told me for years that I had a great sense of humor, I thought it would be interesting to try to include that in the book, too.
Without a contract, without a soul being at all interested, I began to establish the character of my protagonist. My grandmothers best friends name was Sookie, and since it was a fine old Southern nickname, I thought it would do well for my heroine. And Stackhouse just flowed right after it. I wanted to write from the point of view of a human, not a vampire or other supe, and since I have to live with Sookie, I wanted to make her as interesting as I possibly could. I decided she would date a vampire, as the entre into a completely different world, and I had to establish a reason for sensible Sookie to do such a crazy thing. After a long thinking session, I came up with telepathy, which I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy.
Up until then, most vampires in fiction had exotic, sexy names. My vampire, I decided, would be named Bill. Instead of setting my books in the picturesque, touristy part of Louisiana, Id make do with the distinctly unromantic northern part. Instead of being angsty brooders, my vampires would be trying their hardest to be in the forefront of business; theyd be hard workers, and theyd have their own internal system of checks and balances.
I finished Dead Until Dark and turned it in to my agent, the great Joshua Bilmes. It took Joshua a long time to warm up to the Sookieverse, but he dutifully did his best to sell my favorite book. After two years of rejections, Dead Until Dark seemed likely to live up to its acronym. Then a young editor at Ace, John Morgan (now at DC Comics), decided to take a chance, and his boss, Ginjer Buchanan (my present editor), okayed the deal.
Weve never looked back.
Readers seemed to want more details of the Sookieverse, and the website (www.charlaineharris.com) has always bubbled and seethed with questions. How do you make Caroline Bellefleurs chocolate cake? What about that pesky fairy genealogy? What book contains the famous shower scene? (Im just kidding on that last one; everyone knows the shower scene.) How do the short stories fit into the chronology of the books?
Weve assembled The Sookie Stackhouse Companion to answer all of these questions and hopefully a few more, to give readers a thorough look at the world of Bon Temps, and to provide extra snippets of interesting information about Sookies world and the people who live and die in it. Though this book is about the books, we also give a nod to our favorite television show, True Blood , by including an interview with one of my favorite people, Alan Ball.
