Charlaine Harris, the gifted author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels in which the hit HBO True Blood series is based upon, discussed her heroine Sookie, the real-life romance of Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, and watching her books come to life. When asked about the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries, Charlaine Harris said she decided to write a book combining mystery, science fiction, and romance--clinched on not sticking to the rules. She also admitted that she shares certain traits with Sookie, "Well, we're both loyal, but she's a lot braver than I am. She's pretty much like I wish I was. She's polite but direct. I like to think that's me, too."And to top that, she feels a pleasant sense of obligation to the people who brought her stories to life, particularly Anna Paquin (Sookie) and Stephen Moyer (Bill) especially now that the duo are getting married which she felt strangely responsible for. As for the show itself, Charlaine felt proud and excited about seeing the town she created come to life, fondly exclaiming:
"I had lunch in Merlotte's in one of the booths. With Alan."When asked for details about the third season, Charlaine simply said:
"The third season will be the third book, but the show may go off on its own at any point."Though crossroads may be difficult in person's life, for Charlaine the crossroads she experienced helped create Sookie, Bill, Sam, and all the other characters we love in Bon Temps. Furthermore, the books have spawned a hit show on HBO, causing a new mass of fans for Charlaine's books and characters.
