Anne Rice Books

[Ruby]

I hope that the new (rediscovered) interest in her religion gives her writing the passion and spark she lost.

Me, too. To find out more about her new book(s), check out her official web site: http://www.annerice.com/seenheard.htm

You can also get a listing of all of her books on this site.

I find that most writters need a good editor -- but when they hit the big time - the publishers are looking for word count - and the editors do not rip the book apart as much - and thus you get chapters that really should not be there (thinking of the Tommy Knockers by Stephen King - I think it should of been a short story -- but some how I wadded through the whole thing)

Kisses to all that I have not seen in so long - I am back!

Anne Rice is one of the best writers out their IMO, her style is different from anyone elses.

I've been a fan for many years though my favourite are The Vampire Chronicles probably as i'm a huge fan of the characters in that particular series and vampires in general have always interested me :-[

Z,

Are you an editor? The way you speak I would guess you are. My mother was a proofreader for a newspaper and an editor for a long time while I was growing up so I understand (somewhat) how an editor thinks and speaks.

I myself am a short story and article writer. I am working on a book right now and almost have it done (if I can find time to finish the last section) titled "How To Be A Gentleman".

ohhhhhhhhhh -- no - not me -- I am not one -- but I do see the benefit of one!!!!

I think it is just like a good idea - it is better to share it with some one - and get their input - it makes it a BETTER idea -- sort of like these forums - if we share our concepts and ideas - then we have a more clear idea of what the point was that we wanted to make.

Oh - and I must say that I am BIG fan of Anne Rice's books, and the way she writes. I was just making a point about how famous authors, once they get to a certain point of their career - can have an industry that helped them at one point - actually negatively affect them later on. (It is good to be edited.)
