‘I am one lucky lady’ Magnolia author discusses her Southern Vampire books, HBO series ‘True Blood’

No vampires appeared Thursday evening, but aficionados of the popular Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris of Magnolia did show up for the South Arkansas Community College Lecture Series to hear the author speak.

“I am one lucky lady. I get to do what I like to do,” that’s how author Charlaine Harris described herself. During her hour-long lecture and question/answer time, Harris entertained as well as informed the comfortably-filled SouthArk Gym with glimpses of her day of writing, her characters and the HBO hit series “True Blood.”

Question: Where was the Lois Smith flashback Alan Ball said we were going to get on True Blood? —Kelly
Ausiello:
There was no room at the inn. Per Ball, the episode she was supposed to appear in had reached capacity story-wise. “It was the show that could not be contained,” he explains. “Unfortunately, Lois was a causality of that. But there’s always next season. I’m pretty sure she would love to come back and do something on the show.”

Bloody Cool: Vampire-Inspired Interiors

Shelter Pop looks at Bill's house decorating skills

I'm officially hooked. After a friend tipped me off to the Swedish vampire film, Let The Right One In, I realized I've been watching a lot of vampires, both on the small and big screens. Specifically, I'm one of the many that tune into HBO's True Blood, based on the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris.

And I couldn't help but notice vampire Bill Compton's good taste. As a decorator, he's actually pretty good. He seems to have gotten the Southern Gothic look just right (John Derian would sure be proud), mixing antiques in a not-too precious way. He also seems to be really good at lighting (not too bright!), and has a great collection of ancestral portraits and velvet-upholstered sofas -- very George Smith. And is that a Moroccan Berber rug I spotted in Episode Two?
