The March 2012 issue of British science-fiction magazine SFX features interviews with both Deborah Ann Woll and Charlaine Harris.
On Jessica, Deborah says:
“Part of what makes Jess so interesting are the extremes, the contrast she has within her. She can be so sweet and human and innocent, and then very sexual and aggressive and violent. So, with the love stuff there’s a place for the more innocent side, but I like when I get the opportunity to bring out the vampire side more.”
Charlaine Harris discusses her literary influences, and talks about her affection for showrunner Alan Ball, saying:
“I think he’s a genius! I admire him intensely. I knew when I watched Six Feet Under and American Beauty that he got what I was doing. He understands the mixture of tragedy and humour that my books are comprised of. He’s also a Southern guy so I figured that he could tap into the roots of the story. He’s an amazing guy!”
And good news! SFX’s Vampire Special is hitting stands on the 23rd of January!

The next Sookie Stackhouse’s novel in the saga created by Charlaine Harris is named “Deadlocked” and will be published on May 2012.
The cover art for the book has been released recently insinuating some clues on what’s to come. So far, we see the Cluviel d’Or opened, Sookie with a letter in her hand, wolves everywhere, a solitary house and alarmingly, no vampires at all! What’s going on here?

Earlier this week, author Charlaine Harris spoke at Bouchercon 2011 in St. Louis and admitted that some of the actors of True Blood don’t quite look like how she pictures them in her head when writing The Southern Vampire Mysteriy books.
“There are a couple of the characters in the show who look very much like they do in the book,” Charlaine said.
“Chris Bauer, who plays Andy Bellefleur, looks very much like [my] Andy, and a couple of the others. Kristin Bauer Van Straten’s not very far from the actual Pam, she’s a little skinnier. So I do sometimes see them in my head.”
“But to me, Anna [Paquin] has never been the way I think of as Sookie. I think she does a great job, but she’s just not my Sookie.”
While we couldn’t see anyone else as Sookie but Anna, there are no rules when it comes to taste!

Tru Blood 2: A Second Bite has been postponed until further notice
Bad news for those of you that were planning on attending the True Blood event “Tru Blood 2: A Second Bite” in Sydney Australia next month – due to cast cancellations, the event will have to be postponed. Please read the announcement below. (Congrats to Sam and Nelsan, and we hope you are in the mend soon Joe!)
This morning Hub Central received a devastating call from the USA, to advise that tragedy (depending on your point of view) had befallen our Tru Blood event over the last few days, as none of our announced guests will be able to attend our event in Australia at this time.
Our beloved Sam Trammell has become a father to twins and cannot bear the thought of being away from them for a week (congratulations, Sam!); Nelsan Ellis is to be congratulated, as he has just signed on for an amazing new film project (congratulations, Nelsan!); and poor Joe Manganiello was injured on set yesterday (commiserations, Joe!). He’s devastated that he is unable to fly and will not be able to join us, as he was very much looking forward to coming out to Australia.
With the event so close and Dragon*Con in the States taking the industry’s time and attention, it has become impossible for us to source replacement guests for the line-up that you deserve.
But before you begin weeping uncontrollably and chugging V to quell the sadness, we have some good news; the event is postponed not cancelled! We are finalising the new date for 2012 over the next few days and are delighted to announce that our first guest will be the lovely Charlaine Harris, benevolent goddess to the True Blood universe.
Please stay tuned to our Facebook, Twitter and website for more news, which we’ll share as soon as we have it.
Read all the details at the source.
