Q: You've written multiple series in addition to the Anita Blake books. As the world and legal system have evolved so has Anita's life both professionally and personally. Marshals Service that was told by our government you're going to grandfather in any of the vampire hunters that pass the gun qualifications and have been hunting for at least three years.Īnita's “day job” is raising zombies to settle will disputes or for that last tearful goodbye with family, historical research, etc. Twenty-six books into the series there is a Preternatural Branch of the U.S. An order of execution is issued and handed off to vampire executioners that are like bounty hunters with permission to kill the subject of the warrant. The legal and social system has to cope with vampires and shape-shifters being citizens with most of the rights of every other citizen, but not every citizen can lift small cars and throw them at you, or literally tear you apart limb from limb.Īs long as the supernatural citizens behave themselves they have the rights and privileges of everyone else, but if they harm someone then they're deemed too dangerous for (the) normal court system.
Can you please give me, and others who may be unfamiliar with your work, a little background on the series?Īnswer: Anita Blake's world is modern America if we all woke up tomorrow and the monsters of folklore and myth were real. Question: I saw your first Anita Blake book in paperback in the early 1990s but didn't pick it up. The Oklahoman asked Hamilton about her work. Those wishing to attend must buy a pre-signed copy of "Serpentine" from the bookstore. Hamilton will speak Saturday at Full Circle Books, 50 Penn Place. The change has done little to hurt her books' popularity. Specifically, Blake is infected by something called "ardeur," which requires her to have intercourse with multiple partners each day. The Blake novels began as a sort of modern noir since the publication of "Narcissus in Chains" (2001), however, the stories have become more sexualized, leaving her fans divided. Hamilton is generally credited with popularizing the urban fantasy genre, although she balks at that label. (Jim Butcher, whose Dresden novels tread similar ground, released a short story collection in June called "Brief Cases.")
The author also is known for her Merry Gentry series Gentry is a private detective and a princess of the Unseelie court of Faerie. Her latest, "Serpentine," will be in stores Tuesday. Hamilton is the creator of the megaselling Anita Blake series, which features a vampire-killing, zombie-raising police consultant who has dished out justice across 26 novels.
