The anthologies feature stories with an element of the supernatural, and the submissions come from a rare mixture of mystery and urban fantasy writers. Harris has also co-edited three very popular anthologies with her friend Toni L.P. There are now three Harper titles (GRAVE SIGHT, GRAVE SURPRISE, AN ICE COLD GRAVE) with a 4th (GRAVE SECRET) to be released in 2009. Harper has the ability to determine the cause of death of any body. In October 2005, Harris's new mystery series about a young woman named Harper Connelly debuted with the release of Grave Sight. It was an instant success and was quickly picked up for a second season. He wrote and directed the pilot episode for that series, True Blood, which premiered in September of 2008. Sookie Stackhouse proved to be so popular that Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, announced he would undertake the production of a new show for HBO based upon the books. The series, which now numbers nine titles, has been released worldwide. Each book follows Sookie as she tries to solve mysteries involving vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. The first of these, Dead Until Dark, won the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Mystery in 2001. After Shakespeare, Harris created The Sookie Stackhouse urban fantasy series about a telepathic waitress who works in a bar in the fictional Northern Louisiana town of Bon Temps. She told him, it's too soon to move in together, yet he pushed her into it. She just wanted a bf that did not control her every move. Priscilla never asked him to be Elvis or even act like him for Lisa's sake. And his bs about losing himself was actually misogyny because Priscilla was more successful them him. He himself put himself in Elvis's shoes and thought it was his job to replace Elvis, but then blamed Priscilla when he "Lost himself" because he was caught up in the "Presley name". either this guys an idiot, or I cannot comprehend.

Do you remember when you first become interested in fairy tales and myths? Do you have any favorites? Did you read or reread anything in particular in preparation for writing Dragon Pearl? Sondheimer: You have a book of flash fairy tales out that were first published on your website. The author was kind enough to answer some questions about Dragon Pearl, how it came to be part of Riordan’s imprint, and what he’s planning to write next. It’s a Korean-mythology infused space opera. The imprint’s third book, Yoon Ha Lee’s Dragon Pearlis a bit of a departure. Both are fantasy quest stories in the model of Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase, and each author has crafted a fascinating, engaging, innovative novel by integrating, in the case of the first, Indian mythology and, in the second, Maya legend. The first two books to be published under Disney/Hyperion’s Rick Riordan Presents imprint, Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi and The Storm Runnerby JC Cervantes have been, quite deservedly, extremely successful. Things become more complicated when two self-appointed mentors begin to struggle over Hans' German soul. The sanatorium's "enchanted" patients amuse themselves with love affairs, fads, and distractions as they await a cure (or death) in a world where time means something very different from time in the "flatlands." Hans Castorp falls hopelessly in love with a fellow patient, and is inspired to plunge into new worlds of study, tugged in different directions by love, idleness, learning, and passion. With an international clientele, the Berghof is a microcosm of a frivolous, distracted Europe on the eve of cataclysm. Hans comes for a stay of three weeks - but ends up staying seven years, after he himself is diagnosed with TB (or is it really love?). Hans Castorp, an "ordinary" young German orphan from Hamburg about to begin a dull shipbuilding apprenticeship, visits his tubercular cousin Joachim Ziemssen at the International Sanatorium Berghof in the Swiss Alps in the years before World War I.
