A Touch of Dead
Charlaine Harris
Charlaine is a permanent fixture on the New York Times bestseller list and has been a published novelist for more than 25 years. A native of the Mississippi Delta, she grew up in the middle of a cotton field and now lives in Arkansas. Charlaine broke literary conventions and helped define a new genre with Sookie Stackhouse series, featuring a telepathic Louisiana barmaid who is friend to vampires, werewolves and various other odd creatures.
The Sookie series belongs to the wonderfully rich American Southern Gothic literary tradition with its descriptions of the supernatural, sexuality and the ‘other’. Neither traditional mystery nor pure science fiction or romance, Sookie has been a hit with readers around the world and to date New Zealand and Australia have sold more than 500,000 copies of the series.
We have 3 copies of A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris to give away. Enter your details by the 22nd September to be in to win.

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
