Sookie Stackhouse author Charlaine Harris finished the promo tour for her latest novel in the series last night. During the Q&A portion of the event she revealed some information related to True Blood.

As AnnArbor.com reports, Harris discussed her favorite character in True Blood not in her books, Sookie’s grandfather, and the influence the TV show has had on her writing:

Having other writers tackle ideas from her own head has not changed the way she writes her Sookie Stackhouse books. At least, “I hope not!” she says. “I’ve lived with them long enough that I have them in my head,” she told her audience. Her favorite character from the show who does not appear in the books is Jessica, the coming-of-age vampire child and a “foil” for leading male character Bill Compton.

Deciding what happens in the show is not up to Harris, but she shared a couple of ideas for the show. A fan asked her; If the character of Sookie’s grandfather is written into “True Blood” at some point, what actor should play him? Harris would love to see iconic glam rocker David Bowie do the role.

Unfortunately we have a hard time picturing David Bowie coming on to True Blood, but it’s a cool idea nonetheless!
