Her first mystery series, <i>Aurora Teagarden<\/i>, has been adapted into 21 beloved TV films at last count, and her more recent <i>Midnight, Texas<\/i> trilogy was made into a wonderful series on NBC. In addition to other great series such as <i>Lily Bard<\/i> and <i>Harper Connelly<\/i>, she&#8217;s done numerous short stories for highly enjoyable anthologies featuring many of the most popular writers in her genres, and her latest alternate history series, the wild-west-meets-the-Romanovs <i>Gunnie Rose<\/i>, is concluding this month, with the final volume, <i>The Last Wizards&#8217; Ball<\/i>, coming out on July 22nd. Charlaine is a wonderful worldbuilder and a lovely person, and it was so nice speaking with her today about her long-running and exciting career.<\/p>\n<h6>Links<\/h6>\n<p>Keep up with Charlaine&#8217;s latest work and events on her <a href=\"https:\/\/charlaineharris.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">official site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Last Wizards&#8217; Ball<\/i> can be pre-ordered on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/the-last-wizards-ball\" target=\"_blank\">Kobo<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Last-Wizards-Ball-Gunnie-Rose-ebook\/dp\/B0DJG7TRRV\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> now.
