The part of their brains that makes them good in the creative field apparently is offset by another part that controls their ethics and empathy. Generally, most of them lean to the political left. So a Rice is very likely to be a sociopathic liberal just like well-known writer Stephen King is. |

And the Taliassin, (nt sure of spelling) the ancient organization that kept an eye on witches. Ann Rice was an excellent and artistic writer. Ursula Le Guin, Margaret Atwood, Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time series) Octavia Butler, Anne Mac Caffrey, Connie Willis...just a few of the excellent scifi/fantasy writers who are women. Now where is my copy of "Whipping Star"? ol Gorg X MkKai of the Bureau of Sabotage has a mission. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78957513 United States 12/12/2021 12:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had the pleasure of talking with Anne once via email around the time she had written her first Christian novels. She was struggling with how to manage the swaths of 'church-people' who were telling her she needed to pull all of her old work off the shelves now that she was a Christian. Among other comments, I shared with her a quote by C.S. Lewis which she hadn't heard before which read: "We read to know we are not alone." She seemed most taken by that quote and replied by saying that she thinks that she writes emails so that she wouldn't be alone. In the end, her faith seemed more tied to the 'mystery' of the Catholic church than to Christ himself, but who am I to say? Like many, she couldn't rationalize the church's later rejection of her son for being gay, so she left it. Let's just hope that somehow she still found the truth of Jesus through all the clouds and smoke that the institutional church put in her way. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80363889 United States 12/12/2021 01:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She lived in New Orleans and would sit in her courtyard and be available to fans, generously. Quoting: Agent 99 She was a local legend. She also had a place here in Rancho Mirage, in the Palm Springs area. Once I picked up Interview with a Vampire, I read everything she had written within two months. I can't believe The Mummy was never made into a movie. A great story on it's own. Romancing blood on the screen is extremely hard and I believe it is why I don't think the Interview film was very good. Cry to Heaven was a very good book, too. I started her Belinda (and Sleeping Beauty series)under her pseudonym, but I just got the weebee jeebies with the underage teen girl being aggressive sexually with older guys. |

She actually wrote back a long email. Then we started talking about our love of parrots and other things in life. She was really a good person. Still have our emails. Very sad to see she passed away. |

I was a free black then. It was not gooney. Quoting: ALL IS ONE IS ALL Feast of All Saints. They made a movie of it too which I saw. I thought yhat was a boring book, but there are some sex scenes in it that are pretty graphic, classic Anne Rice erotica. |
