"Charlaine Harris has revealed that she plans to end The Southern Vampire Mysteries.  Harris said that she expects the book series, which provides the basis for the popular show True Blood, to reach its conclusion in the near future.  &amp;quot;On the page, I have two more books,&amp;quot; Harris told PopcornBiz. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m writing Book 12 and then there will be Book 13. And then I&amp;#039;ll think of something else new and wonderful to do.&amp;quot; Harris went on to say that she plans to bring the series to a definitive end. &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;ll be total closure,&amp;quot; Harris said. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t go back to things once I&amp;#039;ve finished them. That&amp;#039;s kind of what I do. I don&amp;#039;t want to write [about] Sookie (Stackhouse, the series&amp;#039; protagonist) after I get stale.&amp;quot; Harris continued: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ll miss them, I&amp;#039;m sure, because I have lived with them for quite a long time - 12 years now. And it did take two years to sell the first book. But I think writers like to do different things. At least this writer does.&amp;quot; In 2010, Harris revealed that Sookie will never become a vampire in spite of her numerous relationships with the night creatures.  Last year, the 59-year-old confessed that she is pleased with True Blood, saying that show creator Alan Ball made good use of her books.  True Blood airs on HBO at 9pm on Sundays.
