My favorite author - Anne Rice

Anne Rice was born as Howard Allen O’Brien on October 4, 1941. She chose the name “Anne” when she entered her first grade at St. Alphonsus Grammar School, and she later attended Richardson High School and graduated in 1959. She then attended the Texas Woman’s University in Denton and later transferred to North Texas State College. After she finished her studies, she married Stan Rice, a atheist poet who became a professor of literature and poetry in San Francisco. Later she finished writing her first book, Interview With The Vampire(1978) which made her famous, she gave birth to her son Christopher Rice who is now a famous gay murder-thriller writer
Anne has now written more than 28 books, five of whichwere written under the pseudonyms A.N. Roquelaire and Anne Rampling. The  first 21 of her books had the subject from vampires, ghosts, castrato singers, to colored slaves. However, after she renounced atheism in 1998, and her Catholic marriage in 2002 with her still-atheist husband who also died on the same year because of brain cancer, she concluded her famous 10-part Vampire Chronicles by releasing Blood Canticle(2002) and vowed to “only write for the Lord”. With that firm conviction to never again write about the occult and the outcasts, she released the first book of her trilogy on the life of Jesus Christ, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, on 2005. She then released the second part of the said trilogy which was entitled Christ the Lord: The Road To Cana a few years ago. Her recent book is entitled Angel Time from the Songs of the Seraphim series. It is a murder-thriller type wherein an angel gave a murderer a chance to save his soul.
