My book 10 predictions;

-Dermot will be back
-Hunter will be a big roll
-Arlene's kids will factor into it - as Arlene will be in jail
- Eric & Sookie's relationship will strain, as after the experiences in book 9, I think she will be forced to face what she REALLY wants out of life, and that isn't grand adventured, danger,, and excitement - but rather a "normal" life.
- Subsequently - Sam will come into focus as "more than a Friend"
(Cause sorry team Eric and Team Bill players, - it's always been obvious she would end up with Sam)
- Eric and Sookie will disentangle amicably
-I'm guessing a 60% chance that Philip De Castro will start being a tad to pushy about Sookie (and Eric )- and because of their official bond - MAY try to kill Eric to get Sookie, BUT - Eric will defeat Castro , and end up running Nevada and Louisiana weather he ever aspired to or not.
- Amelia will either move out and back to New Orleans OR - being the wonderful little hussy she is - will meet Haley's Ex when he brings Hunter over to talk to Sookie, and End up with him ( i say this purely because I think it cute)
- Alcide and Quinn are not out of the picture yet, but may be purely side line players.
- Claude chooses to remain in the Human world when Fairie is closed off 1) - cause he owns the bar 2) cause he already had the ear surgery 3) cause of all the hot man flesh he can get with
- Claude will be changed by Claudine's Death - maybe for good,, probably for worse
- Jason may turn a new leaf IF he finds out about Hunter ( the loss of his unborn child, and the heavy facts of family history may awaken a more mature and sober Jason)
- Sookie has slight PTSD from the events in book 9.
- Terry Bellafluer recognizes it, and figures that her scares are from more than just a car wreck

Book ten will be a year after book nine. But there will be a Sookie novella next year, too.

No, not really. A lot of those are re-releases, leighannshome. There are some writers who take a whole year or even two to write a book. Doubtless if I took that much time, I would have an error-free book, and maybe a much better book. But I'd be bored.
Charlaine Harris
Billholic, no promises. I don't think the next book will be the final resolution of Sookie's suitor choice.
Charlaine Harris

I've written the first third of it (bk10). But I'm restarting it, because the opening thread was going nowhere.
Thanks for enjoying the book.

Hardy_bam, I never said I would not end the Sookie series on an "uneven" book. I find that an incredible concept. I'll end the series when I can't think of anything else I want to say about Sookie and her world, and it doesn't make any difference to me what the book count is then.

That's a compliment I don't often get, konstantine, so I may frame it. The character's growth is a natural one, if anything in writing can be termed natural. The action dictates the changes, and the changes affect Sookie's reaction to the action. It is a natural process.

I could see Bill as just Bed ridden the whole of book 10.
I think the moment to go out with a "bang" passed in the ned of book 9.
Bill may yet die,
BUT, I some how don't see it being all heroic and in the service of defending Sookie.

I don't trust Philip De Castro.
He has designs on Sookie.
We know hoe that guy like to work.
If he wants Sookie bad enough - I don' t thin it would bother him one bit to try remove Eric.
Bill being the closest of the old Rule vamps to Sookie physically, and being donw for the count - he is not much of a protector.
De Castro could have some one just waltz in and take Bill out just like they did to Sophie Ann.

No one would know untill it was too late and Bill is a pile of dust.

BUT - Given that book 10 takes place a year latter - IDK.
Bill could be nearly back to speed by then.
Its up in the air.

Felipe coming after Sookie could be how she ends up finally going to Eric's house. CH stated that we may see his house in Book 10.

I posted this on one of the other threads, but here it is again. There was speculation that Sookie would go with Sam to his brother's wedding in Book 10. However, in Book 9 his brother's fiance and family were not happy that his mom was a shapeshifter. I wonder if that will change things.

Wow Red, I like your predictions and agree with a lot of them, nmaybe all of them. It's really interesting that you think Terry will recognize Sookie's PTSD issues. That would make sense, plus I just love Terry and would love to see him have a larger role in teh next book. Why not?

I think that if she was going to Kill Bill off, there would have been no more ideal way than in book 9. But I'm thouroughly glad she decided, for whatever reason, to keep him around. I was crying at the end thinking he woul die, and the only other book taht made me cry was when Bill told Sookie the truth about why he came to Bon Temps. I still love Bill, even though I obviously adore Eric.

I defiantly think that the triangle will be back in Book 10 and it will make things more confusing for Sookie. I think that Bill will be recovered and actively pursuing Sookie. Which will be interesting because Sookie told Eric that they would be together until she figured out if what she felt was real or just the bond. So Bill's pursuit will cause some problems.

I defiantly think that Felipe De Castro will be coming to get Sookie. I think that he wants her as close as he can get her and if he was to take on Eric to get her so be it. I think that he underestimates the hold Sookie has on her men and the lengths they will to through to protect her.

I am hoping Claude stays in the human world. I am curious as to if the fae have to divest themselves of their holdings whether the money will go to Sookie or not. Making her day to day existence a lot easier. No more worries about money.

I think we will see more of Hunter and I do like the idea of Remy and Amelia. He would have a step mom who understands and would not be freaked out by him.

I too think that she will end up with Sam. I have thought that for a long time. So I think that we will see development on that front as well.

I am really hoping to see Eric's house. I know CH has said she thinks it weird that fans want to see it I think that a home tells us a lot about the person and so Eric's home will be interesting.

Red, i don't think book 10 takes place a year after. i think Charlain meant Book 10 will be out in one year, May 2010.
i don't see Bill out of the picture. Why should Charlaine had planned to redeem him if she wasn't going to use that? there will be triangle... also, i felt on this book that Charlaine is giving the impression that Sookie's feelings are confused by the blood bond. who know, what will happen when the bond weakens. one thing for sure is that she really loved Bill with no bonds in the middle...

sometimes I wonder if she is as confused by the bond as she likes to say she is. I wonder if it is not an excuse for her to delay having to admit her feelings for Eric. Look how long she was able to deny her feelings for Bill. She used what he did as an excuse to deny how she felt. She could be doing the same thing with Eric and the bond. That is why I have always disliked the blood bond because I knew that this would happen and she would use it to say the feelings are only the bond.

Plus Eric and Bill are such different people. It has to be confusing to have such strong feelings for two people who are so different. I am hoping in the next book Sookie will actually face up to these issues and deal with them. It is time for her to take a long hard look and figure out what she really wants.

To me it is like she is afraid of her feelings. She in a lot of denial about her feelings a lot of time. Denial about how much she still cares for Bill, denial about how she feels about Eric, denial about what is really there between her and Sam since everyone else can see it. It is all of that denial that really prevents her from moving forward with her relationships.

I wonder with Tara being pregnant and maybe Halleigh that Sookie won't seriously start thinking about whether she wants kids. If she chooses a vampire, either of our vampires, then no kids. Maybe this will be the trigger for her to really start evaluating what she really wants for her future. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

i would find it really coward from Charlaine if she makes Sookie end with Sam...it would be like if she is not brave enough to have a choice. kids?? sookie is living an extraordinary life... c'mon why all women should end with kids, husband, cleaning the kitxhen and making cakes?? umhhh

Even if Sookie gets married and has kids her life will not be boring. Her ties are too close to the vampires and other supes to have a boring little life. And no not every woman wants that life, but Sookie seems to. Plus, just because she would pick a vampire does not make that the brave choice. For Sookie to finally take a good look at herself and figure out what she wants and needs and to make the best choice for her is the brave thing to do, no matter who she chooses.

there are actually ways sookie could end up with kids if she ends up with a vamp...

Eric or bill could turn a child....which is unlikely
Sookie could be raped, and Eric and Bill couldn't save her from being raped
Eric/Sookie or Bill/Sookie could adopt an already turned vamp child
