With True Blood (based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries books) and A Game of Thrones (based on the same named series) both doing so well on HBO, I wanted to suggest three more book series that I think would make incredible TV series.
– The Wheel of Time- Hundreds of characters, a great story and 14 1000-plus page books worth of material to draw from.
– Anno-Dracula- A series in which vampires have become common in the world. The series is full of characters from other sources as well as fascinating original ones. The first book covers the time of Jack The Ripper, the second covers World War I and the third covers 1950's Italy.
– Sonja Blue- A vampire series that began with the novel Sunglasses After Dark that features a young lady turned into a vampire and her awesome (and often violent) exploits.
