FearNet has an interview with Charlaine Harris.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

How do you feel about the way True Blood blends the genres you blend in the Sookie Stackhouse novels? How close do you think it comes to the mix you create in the books?

Hmmm. It doesn’t approach the mix in the same way. But they do have the overarching theme for the season, which is somewhat similar to the overarching mystery in the book. But of course Alan [Ball] emphasizes certain aspects of the story far more than I do; and he’s just interested in different things about the same material than I am.

This title will be released on August 30, 2011.
Pre-order from Amazon

• Browse through her best friend Tara’s dress shop

Alan Ball and Charlaine Harris discuss Sunday’s Episode with EW.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

SPOILER ALERT if you haven’t watched this week’s True Blood…
Okay, now let’s continue. This past Sunday’s episode concluded with Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) sucking the life out of Claudine (Lara Pulver), Sookie’s fairy godmother. The twist surprised many fans of Charlaine Harris’ book series, because Claudine doesn’t bite the dust until much later in the novels. Executive producer Alan Ball tells EW that just because Sookie’s mentor is gone doesn’t mean we’ve seen the last of the fairy world. “After everything that was going on with the fairies in the first episode, I think we wanted to sort of put a pin in that, but obviously it’s not over,” says Ball. “I felt it would have more impact if it was someone we knew as opposed to just a random fairy.”
