Back in July Charlaine Harris updated her Facebook page with the news that the 12th Sookie Stackhouse novel was now complete and with her editors. She also shared the title of the book: What a relief to send DEADLOCKED into my editor(s). Now I can rest easy for a little while, until I get the revisions back. A writer’s dream — to have your editor tell you there’s not a single change necessary . . . Going by past trends I guessed Deadlocked will be available in bookstores in May 2012. … [Read more...]

I happened to stumble across an article today by Greg Palast (investigative journalist on on BBC Television Newsnight) which claimed it contains one of the many possible endings for Harry Potter. Whether authentic or not it certainly provides some interesting reading and food for thought. A selection of the most interesting extracts.. The curse struck Harry’s scar, obliterating it, then, in a loud roar, he felt the crushing pain of his skull opening, and then the shrieking curse rushing from … [Read more...]

It seems our beloved J K Rowling has been working on new writing projects alongside the fresh content prepared for upcoming website Pottermore. Most of which she wanted to hold back until the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, had been released. It will be interesting to see where JK Rowling´s story telling will take us this time, whether she will opt to stay within a similar genre as Harry Potter or whether she will branch out. Either way it means fans of the author have … [Read more...]

I, like many fans of Harry Potter, waited with barely baited breath for the news release on the pottermore project. I predicted some sort of social networking site where fans could gather and, just perhaps, be treated to some previously unpublished notes and some online games. It turns out I wasn´t too far from the truth. In essentials Pottermore is an online reading experience where fans of the books can gather and read new and previously unreleased material set within the Harry Potter world. … [Read more...]
