Though season two of HBO's "True Blood" will further diverge from the Charlaine Harris series of books that inspired it, the author herself will be making a guest appearance in the season finale.
Series creator Alan Ball told reporters Wednesday that though he and Harris don't talk much about the direction of the show, they keep in touch.
"She actually is going to come out and do a cameo probably in the last episode of the season," said Ball. "But I do think it's best to just respect that boundary. Maybe I'm just being chicken because I don't want to hear that she hates this or she hates that."
"True Blood," returning June 14 at 9 p.m., stars Anna Paquin as Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress in the small Southern town of Bon Temps, La., where vampires and humans are trying to co-exist. It also features Stephen Moyer as Sookie's undead love interest, Bill Compton.
Vampires are a hot commodity in pop culture right now, thanks to the "Twilight" phenomenon, the CW's recent addition of "Vampire Diaries" to its fall season and "True Blood." And though Ball isn't a "Twilight" fan, he doesn't see a problem with a crowded market.
"I can't really talk that much about 'Twilight' because I haven't read any of the books or seen the movie, but I personally don't really understand why you would have vampires in something that's basically about abstinence," said Ball.

I would love to see Charlaine in one of the shows, how cool would that be. The creator of this whole wonderful world getting to star in an episode of the show inspired by her genius.
First the picture in Merlotte's and now an actual appearance in the show? That's awesome :)
