Ep 210 : New World In My View

"respectfully to you and the person who mentioned CH being behind this take on her books...this is her business and the success of the show is extremely important to her. But one cannot assume we know that she is happy with this or that. Why would she ever say anything negative about TB?"

Actually, I don't think they are just blindly assuming CH is happy with the show, they are simply going by the evidence that's out there. Here is a little clip from an article, with quotes from Charlaine Harris that express her feelings, loud and clear, about the show and how she feels about the changes, see below:

"Unlike Stephenie Meyer with the Twilight series, Charlaine Harris and Alan Ball do not regularly consult with each other about the True Blood series. However, when asked if she and Alan Ball had a communication method available to them, she advised that they do communicate occasionally via email. Charlaine also went on to say that she is OK with the liberties that Alan Ball has taken with the True Blood series because she looks at True Blood as its own entity.

“I have been fascinated with what he’s done,” Charlaine said. “It’s like a separate experience, and that can be a lot of fun for everyone.”

Here's another small clip:

"The differences between the books and the series may explain any confusion that Charlaine’s fans are having with HBO’s True Blood. For example, when we asked Charlaine about what the “egg” was in True Blood, Charlaine said with a smile “I have no idea.”

Here is the link for anyone who wants to read the article with CH being quoted as saying she likes TB and is happy with AB's changes, it also mentions her cameo appearance:
