Charlaine Harris answered Lynne Macdonald's question: When will you write anther supernatural story with vampires, demons and witches as well as humans? I know you got one brewing inside of you. I so enjoy all of your stories. Thank you. Lynn, my Gunnie Rose books are full of witchcraft and magic, as well as a lot of gun fighting. There are six of them, so you can enjoy. I don't know that I'll ever write vampires again. But I'm looking forward to what comes next.
