It came to me that it would be fun to write a book about Louisiana, about a very down home young woman who was dating a vampire and everything kind of built from that kernel." Charlaine Harris on writing about vampires: "There are all different kinds of ways to interpret the vampire rules. I've tried to bring something different to the genre." Charlaine Harris on working with True Blood creator Alan Ball: "I knew that he got me. Not everyone gets the mixture of humor and horror and blood and death…with a wink, and I knew Alan did."
