Didn’t we promise to dedicate ourselves to keeping you busy until the new True Blood season begins in June? How about a True Blood A – Z list! Mel and I needed some diversion and more confusion in our lives, so we enlisted the unfried brains of our lovely staff writers Lisa and Helen, to help us compile this list of fun facts for your reading pleasure.
