Harrell: Is there anything the show has done with your characters or a particular storyline that after seeing you wish you had explored in your books?

Huff: I love that Coreen has signed on as Vicki's assistant and I love the possibilities in the demon tats on Vicki's arms. There's a million things that can be done with that and I'm loving what I've seen of it so far. Harrell: Is there any chance of the character Tony making an appearance on the show?

Huff: Because Tony has his own series of books, my agent and I thought it best to keep him out of Blood Ties entirely in hopes of him someday getting his own series. So, no, because of this, Tony will never make an appearance on the show.

Harrell: There are several differences I’ve noticed between your books and the show. What are some of the differences you’ve noticed, and are any of the differences so major they irk you?

Huff: I've noticed the major differences of course, Coreen, Vicki's tats (already mentioned I love both) and Henry being a graphic artist rather than a romance writer (much better visually!). They've also introduced new reoccurring characters and that's important because I only wrote five books and nine short stories. Even if they could use everything I came up with -- and they obviously can't -- that's still only fourteen actual plots and the show's writers need to fill twenty-two episodes in the first season alone. If we go to a second season, they'll clearly have to expand the world even further. I have been incredibly lucky that my books are being interpreted for television by a creative team so skilled and willing to honor the spirit of my words that I perpetually want to jump up and down and clap my hands in glee. I trust them. Nothing irks me.

Harrell: If you could change anything about the show, what would it be?

Huff: I'd like it if Henry had male and female lovers -- in the background of the primary Henry/Vicki/Mike relationship -- but even that lack doesn't irk me.

Harrell: So far the only novel the show has directly adapted for an episode has been Blood Price. Are there any upcoming episodes that adapted one of the other Blood novels?

Huff: There's a mummy episode coming up with Danny Trejo playing the mummy that took a lot of its inspiration from Blood Lines. Given the restrictions of shooting, it wasn't able to follow the book exactly but the core story is in there.
